Front Inner Steering Tie Rod End

If you're working on the steering on your 1970-1974 Ford Maverick, this front inner tie rod end from Moog is a solid choice. It's a critical part of your steering linkage, connecting the steering rack or gearbox to the steering knuckle, and getting it right means you'll have predictable and responsive steering.

Moog builds these with a gusher bearing design, which means grease can flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, especially important for a part that's constantly moving. They also use a patented cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, further protecting the bearing. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, which helps prevent it from failing too early. Plus, the socket is greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated for a longer life.

This tie rod end is designed for a precise fit, making installation and alignment straightforward. It also includes a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb shock loads and prevent spring bind.
