What does an outer tie rod end do?

The outer tie rod end connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle on your vehicle's suspension. It's a crucial link that translates your steering wheel movements into directional changes for the wheels, ensuring precise control.

Why is the gusher bearing design important?

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

Does this tie rod end come with grease fittings?

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

Product Details

When you're tackling steering issues on your 1996-2004 Acura RL, replacing the outer tie rod end is a common and important step. This part connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, you'll notice looseness in the steering wheel and less precise control. This Moog outer tie rod end is built to bring that responsive steering back to your RL.

Moog uses a gusher bearing design in this tie rod end. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. Plus, the socket has a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package tight as it wears, and it's greaseable to help flush out contaminants and fight corrosion.

Moog designs these with precision tolerances, which means they should fit right and make your steering alignment straightforward after installation. This part is designed to restore that like-new steering feel you expect.
