MOOG 74-78 Ford Mustang II Front Outer / Outer Tie Rod End

Moog is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. This outer tie rod end, part number ES429RL, is designed for your 1973-1980 Ford Pinto or 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II, and it's a crucial piece for restoring precise steering feel. When your tie rods wear out, you might notice looseness in the steering wheel or uneven tire wear, and replacing them is key to getting that 'like-new' handling back.

What sets this Moog 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 extend its life. Plus, the patented cover plate seals out dirt and debris, keeping the bearing clean and minimizing looseness as it wears. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. You can expect a precise fit right out of the box, making installation and alignment straightforward.

This tie rod end also features a Belleville preload washer, which helps maintain a tight bearing package even as the components naturally wear over time. It's also greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to further reduce corrosion and wear. Moog offers comprehensive coverage, meaning they have parts like this for many different vehicles.
