What is the benefit of the 'gusher bearing' design?

The gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, the socket is greaseable. This feature allows you to introduce new lubricant to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What does the Belleville preload washer do?

The Belleville preload washer helps to absorb impact loads. It works to prevent issues like spring bind and shattering that can occur during shock load events.

Product Details

The gusher bearing design in this Moog tie rod end is a notable feature. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which cuts down on friction and helps it last longer. This part is specifically made for the 1983-1988 Ford Ranger and 1984-1988 Ford Bronco II, aiming to get your steering feeling like new again.

Moog engineers put these tie rod ends through rigorous testing to make sure they hold up. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or beat original equipment requirements, helping to prevent early failure. Plus, the patented pressed-in cover plate works to keep dirt and debris out, reducing wear on the bearing and extending its life. You'll also find a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb shock loads and prevent issues like spring bind.

When it's time for installation, you can expect precision tolerances that make for an easy fit and straightforward steering alignment. The socket is also greaseable, which is a big help in fighting corrosion and wear by letting you flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant.
