What is a gusher bearing and why is it beneficial?

A gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that 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 add fresh lubricant periodically to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear.

What does the Belleville preload washer do?

The Belleville preload washer helps maintain a tight bearing package over time. As the bearings naturally wear, this washer helps to keep the assembly snug, reducing looseness in the steering.

Product Details

If you're noticing some looseness in your steering or your car is pulling to one side, it might be time to check your tie rod ends. This MOOG ES368RL outer tie rod end is built to get your steering feeling tight and responsive again. It fits a wide range of American Motors vehicles from the mid-60s through the early 80s, including popular models like the Ambassador, Gremlin, and Hornet.

What sets this tie rod end apart is its gusher bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer life. Plus, the ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and less likely to fail prematurely. It also features a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package snug as it wears, and the socket is greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant.

MOOG designs these with precision tolerances, so they fit right and make steering alignment easier after installation. This means you can get your vehicle back on the road with confidence, knowing the steering is back to feeling like new.
