What is the benefit of the Gusher Bearing in this tie rod end?

The Gusher Bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to continuously 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, this tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What is the purpose of the Belleville preload washer?

The Belleville preload washer helps maintain tightness in the bearing package as the bearings naturally wear over time. This helps keep your steering feeling precise and reduces looseness.

Product Details

If you're working on the steering linkage for your 1985-1990 Buick Electra, this MOOG ES2261RL outer tie rod end is a solid choice. It's designed to replace the worn-out original part, helping to restore that precise, like-new steering feel you want. This part fits a wide range of GM vehicles from the mid-80s to the late 90s, including models like the Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville.

What sets this MOOG tie rod end apart is its Problem Solver Gusher Bearing. This isn't just a standard bearing; it's a metal-to-metal design that actually allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, which means a longer service life for the part. The ball stud is also heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, giving it improved fatigue strength and preventing premature failure. Plus, the Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight, even as the bearings wear over time, which helps maintain steering tightness.

You'll appreciate that MOOG designs these for an easy installation with precision tolerances, ensuring it fits right and makes steering alignment straightforward. The socket is greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep fresh lubricant in there, further reducing corrosion and wear. It's a well-built component that aims to get your steering back to feeling solid and responsive.
