MOOG 1997 Ford F-250 HD Front Left Inner / Left Inner Tie Rod End

This product is a Moog DS1017T front left inner tie rod end. It's designed to replace the worn-out tie rod end on a variety of Ford vehicles, including the Bronco, F-150, and F-350, helping to restore precise steering control. A tie rod end is a critical part of your steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, you'll notice sloppy steering or difficulty keeping the vehicle straight.

Moog has incorporated their Problem Solver Gusher Bearing design into this tie rod end. This metal-to-metal bearing allows grease to flow through the surface, which helps reduce friction and extend the part's life. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure. Plus, the socket is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant to further reduce wear and corrosion.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that help ensure a perfect fit and simplify steering alignment. A Belleville preload washer is also included to help absorb impacts and prevent issues during shock loads. This tie rod end is a well-built component designed for reliable performance and straightforward installation.
