Restore crisp steering response, smooth vehicle tracking, and precise alignment control with the MOOG ES801218 Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End. Specifically engineered as a direct replacement for 2015–2019 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback models, this Problem Solver tie rod end replaces loose, worn, or play-prone steering linkages.
Manufactured from heat-treated forged carbon steel, this heavy-duty steering component features MOOG's proven ball-and-socket design that withstands intense suspension articulation and heavy road shock. Equipped with a greasable socket design and supplied with a threaded zerk fitting to allow fresh grease to flush out moisture and abrasives, significantly extending joint life. Protected by a tear-resistant polychloroprene rubber dust boot and supplied with a castle nut and cotter pin for a secure, factory-grade installation.
