What is a gusher bearing and why is it important?

A gusher bearing allows lubricant to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer service life for the tie rod end and maintaining proper steering feel.

Does this tie rod end come with a boot?

This tie rod end features a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out debris. It is designed to minimize looseness and reduce bearing wear, contributing to its longevity.

Is this part greaseable?

Yes, this tie rod end has a greaseable socket. This feature allows you to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion by adding new lubricant periodically.
