MOOG 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Front Right Outer / Right Outer Tie Rod

This is the MOOG ES80688 outer tie rod end, which is what you get in the box. This part is designed to replace the worn-out tie rod end on the front right side of a variety of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including models like the C230, CLK550, and the G63 AMG. A tie rod end is a crucial part of your steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, you'll notice looseness in your steering wheel and potentially uneven tire wear.

MOOG builds these tie rod ends with a gusher bearing design. This means it's metal-to-metal, which allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and keeps the bearing from wearing out too quickly, contributing to a longer life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure. Plus, MOOG includes a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the part naturally wears over time, maintaining a more consistent feel. The socket is greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to further reduce wear and corrosion.

You'll find that these tie rod ends are made with precision tolerances, which helps ensure an easy installation and makes it simpler to get your steering alignment dialed in afterward. This means you should get a perfect fit right out of the box when you're ready to install it.
