MOOG 99-00 Cadillac Escalade Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

MOOG has a reputation for creating suspension parts that solve common problems, and this inner tie rod end, part number ES2838RL, is no different. If your vehicle's steering feels loose, imprecise, or you're hearing clunks from the front end, replacing your tie rod ends is a solid step toward restoring that tight, responsive feel. This part is designed to fit a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs from the late 80s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Astro, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade.

What sets this MOOG tie rod end apart is its Gusher Bearing design. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. Plus, the patented pressed-in cover plate works to keep dirt and debris out while minimizing looseness, further contributing to a longer service life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent premature failure. MOOG engineers put these parts through rigorous testing to ensure they perform reliably.

You'll also appreciate the ease of installation. Precision tolerances mean it fits right out of the box, making alignment simpler. There's also a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb impacts and prevent issues during shock loading, and the socket is greaseable so you can flush out contaminants and keep things lubricated for reduced wear.
