- RESTORES LIKE-NEW STEERING - The patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and reduces looseness, reducing bearing wear and promoting longer life.
- GREASEABLE SOCKET - Lowers corrosion and wear by allowing new lubricant to flush contaminants.
- ABSORBS IMPACT - The Belleville preload washer helps to keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
- PROBLEM SOLVER GUSHER BEARING - Metal-to-metal design provides strength and allows grease to flow through bearing surface for reduced friction and long life
- STRONG AND DURABLE - Ball studs are heat treated to meet or exceed OE specifications in order to prevent premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- EASY TO INSTALL - Precision tolerances allow for simple installation and steering alignment, resulting in a perfect fit right out of the box.
- COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE - Available for both foreign and domestic nameplates.

Front Driver or Passenger Side Outer Steering Tie Rod End (001677) by MOOG®. Quantity: 1 per Pack. Designed to consistently produce the right amount of preload for proper steering effort, MOOG tie rod ends provide long-lasting dependability and superior performance. The parts feature problem-solving innovation and precise engineering that simplifies installation process and prolongs service life.
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.
