MOOG 78-81 Ford Fairmont Front Outer / Outer Tie Rod End

When you're tackling steering repairs on your classic Ford Fairmont, or other vehicles from that era like the Mercury Zephyr or Ford Mustang, a worn outer tie rod end can make your steering feel loose and imprecise. This MOOG ES2128RL outer tie rod end is designed to replace that worn component and bring back that solid, connected feel to your steering wheel.

MOOG builds these tie rod ends with a Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. 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 Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the part naturally wears over time, maintaining a snug fit and reducing looseness.

This tie rod end is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to further reduce corrosion and wear. It's designed for a precise fit, making installation and alignment straightforward. MOOG offers comprehensive coverage for a wide range of domestic and foreign nameplates, so you can be confident in its application for many vehicles.
