Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. This outer tie rod end, part number ES312RL, is designed to restore like-new steering feel to a wide range of classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks and cars from the late 50s and early 60s. If your steering feels loose or imprecise, replacing worn tie rods like these is a key step in getting that solid, connected feeling back.

What sets this MOOG tie rod apart is its gusher bearing design. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. Plus, the patented pressed-in cover plate works to keep dirt and debris out, minimizing wear and play. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. MOOG engineers put these parts through rigorous testing to ensure they perform reliably. The Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package snug as the part wears, and the socket is greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant.

This tie rod end fits a variety of vehicles, including models like the 1958-1962 Chevrolet Biscayne, 1959-1962 Chevrolet Impala, and 1960-1964 GMC 1000 Series trucks. Its precision tolerances mean it should install smoothly, making steering alignment straightforward and giving you a good fit right out of the box.
