EV800457 Steering Tie Rod End for Ford F-150

You can't go wrong with Moog parts as they are the best replacement parts you can get for your car. I have been using Moog parts for many years with very good results. Yes they cost more than the cheap o parts, but you get what you pay for in the long run. I replaced all four tie rod ends with Moog parts and then had an alignment. The result? Like new steering straight down the road. Nice smooth turns with no play in the steering at all. You will have to give the outer tie rod ends a shot of grease at every oil change for long tie rod end life, but no big deal, just get a cheap grease gun and give them a shot or two. Very happy with this purchase.

I replaced the inner and outer tie rods at the same time (used a Dorman outer tie rod) because my outer would not unscrew. I would reccomend doing this so you can pull the inner/outer tie rods out as a single peice. I then used a cut off wheel and cut the inner tie rod shaft so I could easily remove the boot to reuse. Then get an alignment afterwards and you'll be set for another 100k miles if you're lucky. I will say though, I found it difficult to get any grease into this ball socket. It is tight and it seems no matter how much I worked the socket while pushing grease into it, it still felt like metal on metal. I made sure it was all covered with plenty of grease before installing the boot again. If anything, it will keep water out.

Moog, as always good quality, easy install. Mine did not ship with the little tube of grease as shown but otherwise good quality parts. Fast shipping.

Fast shipping and very good price

Very good replacement for the original. It fit perfectly on my 2008 Eddie Bauer Expedition. I've been riding it for several months and so far it works perfectly

Excellent

Product was great and installed easily on my 2007 Ford expedition EL. The only issue I had was that my inner tie rod tool was not deep enough to fit over the knuckle. My local parts store lent me one which was not deep enough either(I would assume that this would be for any brand). I ended up using a large adjustable wrench and it work just fine.

Would have rated better as a product if they would have supplied replacement dust boots.
