What is the purpose of the gusher bearing in this tie rod end?

The gusher bearing design in this Moog tie rod end features a metal-to-metal contact point that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps to reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the component.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to flush out contaminants and introduce fresh lubricant, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What does the Belleville preload washer do?

The Belleville preload washer helps to keep the bearing package tight as the tie rod end wears over time. This ensures consistent steering feel and helps maintain proper alignment.

Product Details

If you're working on the steering linkage for your 1974-1988 Jeep J10, J20, Cherokee, Wagoneer, or Grand Wagoneer, this Moog outer tie rod end (part number ES453L) is a solid option. It's designed to connect to the pitman arm and is a crucial part of your vehicle's steering system, helping to translate the steering wheel's input into directional changes for your front wheels.

Moog builds these with a gusher bearing design, which means it has a metal-to-metal contact point that allows grease to flow through. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure. Plus, the patented cover plate helps keep dirt and debris out, further protecting the bearing and reducing looseness over time. It's also greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep fresh lubricant in there.

You'll find that these Moog tie rod ends are made to precise tolerances, which should make installation and alignment straightforward. The Belleville preload washer helps maintain a tight bearing package as the part wears, ensuring consistent steering feel.
