Will fit the following models:
1978 Pontiac Phoenix
1979 Pontiac Phoenix
- RESTORES LIKE-NEW STEERING - Patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear and promoting longer life
- GREASEABLE SOCKET - Reduces 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 to prevent premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- EASY TO INSTALL - Precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment giveing you a perfect fit right out of the box
- COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE - Available for foreign and domestic nameplates
- RIGOROUS TESTING - Comprehensive testing throughout design and development processes by MOOG engineers for quality you can count on
MOOG® Front Driver or Passenger Side Outer Steering Tie Rod End (73CFFD). 1 per pack MOOG tie rod ends are designed to consistently produce the correct amount of preload for proper steering effort. They provide long-term dependability and superior performance. The parts feature problem-solving innovation and precise engineering, which simplifies installation and extends 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 fail due to normal wear and/or a lack of lubrication, but tie rod ends can also fail from repeated driving over unimproved or pothole-infested roads. A worn tie-rod end is usually detectable 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.
MOOG replacement tie rod ends are exactly what you need to repair your faulty OEM components. They have a long-lasting, all-metal construction that is not prone to failure like some OE plastic tie rod ends. Because MOOG replacement tie rod ends are greasable, friction is reduced and dirt is flushed out. MOOG tie rod ends have a patented cover plate design that captures the entire ball stud between the upper and lower bearings, eliminating axial clearance or "lash." This consistently produces the correct amount of preload for proper steering effort over the life of the part. Finally, MOOG tie rod ends feature easy-access wrench flats for quick and easy installation and adjustment.
