What is a 'gusher bearing' and why is it beneficial?

A gusher bearing design allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What is the purpose of the Belleville preload washer?

The Belleville preload washer is designed to maintain tension on the bearing package. As the bearings naturally wear over time, this washer helps keep the assembly tight, reducing looseness and ensuring consistent steering feel.
