What is a tie rod end and why does it need to be replaced?

A tie rod end connects your steering system's inner tie rod to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn. When it wears out, you might notice looseness in your steering, uneven tire wear, or difficulty keeping the vehicle straight.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this Moog tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear, helping to extend the life of the part.

What does the 'gusher bearing' mean for this part?

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

Product Details

If your Dodge Ram 1500 is feeling loose in the front end, especially when turning, it might be time to look at your tie rod ends. This is the outer tie rod end from Moog, designed to connect to the pitman arm on the left side of your truck. Replacing worn tie rod ends is a key step in getting that tight, responsive steering back.

Moog builds these with a gusher bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow right where it's needed. This helps reduce friction and wear, giving you a longer-lasting part. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to bending or breaking. Plus, the patented cover plate helps keep dirt and grime out, further protecting the bearing inside. It's made with precision tolerances so it fits right and helps make sure your alignment is spot on after installation.

This tie rod end is also designed to absorb some of the impact from rough roads thanks to a preload washer that keeps the bearing snug. It's greaseable, so you can flush out old contaminants and add fresh lubricant to keep things protected. Moog offers a lot of coverage for different vehicles, and this part is a solid option for getting your Ram 1500 steering true again.
