What is a 'gusher bearing' design?

A gusher bearing design allows lubricant to flow through the bearing and onto the stud. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to the part's overall strength and longevity.

Why is it important to grease a tie rod end?

Greasing a tie rod end flushes out contaminants like dirt and water that can cause corrosion and wear. Regularly lubricating the greaseable socket helps maintain the integrity of the bearing surface and extends the life of the part.

What else might I need when replacing a tie rod end?

When replacing tie rod ends, it's often recommended to have a wheel alignment performed afterward to ensure your steering is properly set and to prevent uneven tire wear.

Product Details

When you're tackling suspension work on your 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML320, getting the right tie rod end is key to restoring proper steering feel and alignment. This MOOG ES80690 is the outer tie rod end for the front left side, and it's built to help solve common chassis issues.

MOOG uses a powdered metal gusher bearing design in this tie rod end. This allows grease to flow through the bearing and onto the stud, which helps reduce friction and makes the part stronger. It's also a greaseable socket, meaning you can flush out contaminants like dirt and water with fresh lubricant, cutting down on corrosion and wear. The patented cover plate design helps maintain tighter tolerances compared to older styles, leading to a more durable part that resists contaminants getting into the bearing surface. Loose or worn chassis parts like tie rod ends can lead to uneven tire wear, so replacing them with well-built components like this MOOG part is important for your vehicle's handling and tire life.
