What is the benefit of the Gusher Bearing design?

The Gusher Bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with grease?

This is a greaseable socket, meaning it has a fitting to add fresh lubricant. You will need to add your own grease during installation to properly lubricate the joint and flush out contaminants.

What makes installation easier with this part?

This tie rod end features precision tolerances that ensure it fits right out of the box. This makes installation straightforward and helps achieve proper steering alignment.

Product Details

If you're noticing looseness in your steering or your car is pulling to one side, it might be time to look at your tie rod ends. This MOOG ES406R outer tie rod end is built to bring back that tight, responsive feel to your steering system. It's designed to fit a wide range of classic GM vehicles from the early 70s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick Skylark, and Oldsmobile Cutlass.

What sets this tie rod end apart is its Gusher Bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup allows grease to flow directly to the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. Plus, the ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. The Belleville preload washer is a smart touch too, as it helps keep the bearing package snug even as the part wears over time, maintaining that solid steering feel.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that ensure a good fit and help with steering alignment. And because it's greaseable, you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear. This makes it a solid option for bringing your classic steering back to life.
