Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End

When you're tackling front-end work on your classic GM car, getting the right tie rod ends is key to restoring that solid, predictable steering feel. This is the MOOG ES427R outer tie rod end, a well-built component designed to replace the worn-out part on a wide range of vehicles from the mid-70s, including models like the Buick Century, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Pontiac Grand Prix.

What sets this tie rod end 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 wear, leading to a longer service life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, giving it improved fatigue strength to prevent premature failure. Plus, a patented cover plate helps seal out dirt and debris, keeping the bearing clean and minimizing looseness as it wears. There's also a Belleville preload washer that helps maintain proper bearing tension as the part ages.

You'll appreciate the precision tolerances that make installation straightforward, helping to ensure an accurate steering alignment. And because it's greaseable, you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant periodically to further extend its life and maintain optimal performance.
