How does this tie rod end improve steering feel?

The ES800223 replaces a worn outer tie rod end to re-establish the mechanical connection between the steering linkage and the wheel. By eliminating play and restoring correct toe settings, the part helps recover crisp turn-in and predictable road tracking. Improved steering feel reduces driver corrections and supports more even tire wear.

• Direct-fit replacement for precise steering alignment
• Powdered-metal gusher bearing promotes consistent movement
• Greaseable joint allows maintenance to extend service life

What protective features guard this part from road damage?

MOOG engineers the ES800223 with a pressed-in cover seal that blocks contaminants and moisture from entering the joint. The sealed design works with the zerk grease fitting to keep lubrication where it matters, lowering corrosion and abrasive wear. These protections help the part withstand road debris and harsh driving conditions over time.

• Patented pressed-in cover seal prevents dirt and water intrusion
• 1/4-28 zerk fitting for straightforward grease maintenance
• Durable materials resist corrosion and extend service intervals
