MOOG® ES2012S - Front Passenger Side Steering Drag Link Adjusting Sleeve

Tie rod ends connect the steering gear to the steering knuckles and move the wheels and tires when the steering wheel is turned. They usually go bad due to normal wear and/or lack of lubrication, but tie rod ends can also fail from repeated driving over unimproved or pothole strewn roads. A worn tie-rod end can usually be detected during a front end inspection, but symptoms of a faulty tie rod end include noise, a loose steering feel, pulling to one side, and irregular tire wear.

When fixing your weak OEM components, MOOG replacement tie rod ends are exactly what you need. They feature durable, all-metal construction that is not prone to failure like some OE plastic tie rod ends. Since MOOG replacement tie rod ends are greasable, friction is reduced and dirt is flushed out. MOOG tie rod ends feature a patented cover plate design that captures the full ball stud between the upper and lower bearings, eliminating axial clearance or "lash." This consistently produces the right amount of preload for proper steering effort over the life of the part. Finally, MOOG tie rod ends come with easy-access wrench flats to allow for simple, hassle-free installation and adjustment.
