Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

RESTORES LIKE-NEW STEERING -- A patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and reduces looseness, reducing bearing wear and extending the life of the bearing.

GREASEABLE SOCKET -- Allows new lubricant to flush contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.

ABSORBS IMPACT -- As bearings wear, the Belleville preload washer keeps the bearing package tight.

PROBLEM SOLVING GUSHER BEARING -- The metal-to-metal design provides strength while allowing grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and longer life.

STRONG AND DURABLE -- To prevent premature failure and improve fatigue strength, ball studs are heat treated to meet or exceed OE specifications.

EASY TO INSTALL -- Precision tolerances ensure a perfect fit right out of the box for easy installation and steering alignment.

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE -- Foreign and domestic nameplates are both covered.

RIGOROUS TESTING -- MOOG engineers conduct extensive testing throughout the design and development process to ensure consistent quality.

Questions & Answers

How frequently should these be greased? What is the amount of grease you use in them?

They've only been greased once in a few years by my mechanic. Only when there is a lot of squeaky noise do they need grease, which isn't very often. (Not all of the time.) ) He used a grease gun to apply the grease, so I'm not sure how much there was, but I only got one.

Is there a difference between the right and left sides of the tire rod ends, or does it make a difference?

This part is the same whether you're on the left or right side of the vehicle, though some applications have a left and right part.

Is it true that these are made in China?

Made in the United States of America

Will this fit on the left and right front bumpers of my 2002 Ford Ranger XLT 2? 2wd with a 3 liter engine? What is a coil spring?

This product fit perfectly on my 2005 Ford Ranger XLT, but I would do some research to make sure the fitment is correct.

Use the grease fitting with extreme caution

4/5

This was an excellent match for my explorer, and I would purchase it again. Installing the grease fitting should only be done with extreme caution. I was installing mine after the part had been installed on the vehicle, and the fitting snapped in half during the process. I wasn't overtightening because it never tightened up. The threads inside the tire rod end had simply snapped off. I had to disassemble it and get a replacement after some thrown tools and multiple words I can't repeat in here. So I was without a vehicle for a few days until Amazon was able to get me a replacement, which they were able to do. The customer service provided by Amazon was excellent. I'm just chalking this up to a fluke because Moog is known for its quality. The replacement and the opposite side went in without a hitch.

MOOG is a fantastic game until it isn't

3/5

These arrived in April of this year, but it took me until May to install them on my 2002 Ranger Edge. I've always heard good things about this company and how superior their products are. I, on the other hand, may be an outlier. When I went to install some MOOG wheel bearings, I noticed that the plastic boot had split down the middle. I chose MOOG because the cheap auto part store ones have poor boots, and I've had problems with them in the past; I tried to claim a warranty on it but was given the runaround. Note that this Amazon store is an Amazon full filament center, not MOOG, and getting a claim on the product is impossible; I can't contact the seller, and Amazon just wants me to send it back; I'll have to remove it and walk to the post office to return it, and I'll be without a vehicle for the time it takes to get a replacement. Dumb.

1 that is suitable for a Ford Ranger

5/5

On my Ranger XLT (V6 4. ) I replaced the old, torn tie rod ends. 0L 4WD). This is the exact same size and fit as the OEM, with the exception that it has a zerk fitting and the boot is grey rather than OEM black. br>br>Removing the old tie rod ends was a nightmare for me. No matter how much I blasted them with a torch or PB spray, they remained stuck and immobile. An old mechanic's trick of using heat and candle wax was told to me by a friend. That, much to my surprise, worked! If you ever find yourself in this situation, give this a shot. There are a plethora of instructional videos available on YouTube.

The boots will be put to the test

4/5

In comparison to other part store brands, the ball joint within the rod in is tight and sturdy, but the boot design isn't for me. In only a week, the rod end boot on my passenger side had worn significantly. To re-enforce the area, I used RTV silicone. If it wanted to tear, you could enforce it. Other than that, it's fantastic.

It's still going strong! I've had them on my truck for about a month and have put them to good use

5/5

They've traveled at least 1000 miles. When I go in for my oil change this weekend, I'll check the over to see how it's holding up. So far, I haven't had any problems with them.

It was a perfect match

5/5

For my 2010 Ford Ranger, I purchased these. They are well-fitting and appear to be of good quality. Installing is simple; simply get an alignment afterward and you're ready to go.
