MOOG 2012 Ram 1500 Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

The Gusher Bearing in this MOOG inner tie rod end is a notable design choice. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps cut down on friction and makes it last longer. This part is built for a range of Dodge and Ram trucks, including models like the 2012 Ram 1500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, and 2011-2013 Ram 2500.

Beyond the bearing, the ball studs are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs. This treatment helps prevent early failure and improves fatigue strength, meaning it can handle the stresses of the road. MOOG also includes a Belleville preload washer, which is designed to absorb shock loads and prevent spring bind. For installation, you'll find wrench flats on both the housing and the stud, making it easier to get it properly aligned and tightened down. They even pre-apply a thread-locking compound to save you a step and help keep it from loosening up on its own.
