MOOGES2079S Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve for Ford F-150

Fit perfectly and turns easily for adjustments. Good quality Moog part as usual. Highly recommended!

I had heard that these MOOG parts were being made in China. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the packaging and seen "Made in U.S.A." on each box. I bought these 3 parts to replace the smaller hollow tie rod on my 1998 Jeep XJ. This ZJ tie rod is substantially thicker and heavier. It is around twice the diameter and is solid instead of hollow tubing.The price is very affordable for what you get. At the time of writing this I was able to buy all three parts for a total of around $84. Not bad for the upgrade it seems to be. I assumed my tie rod was the original one and due for an upgrade anyways.You can look at the pic I took of the boxes to see "Made in U.S.A." clearly written on them as well as the individual part numbers should you decide to do this same upgrade on your Jeep.

Fits 1997 F250HD right/pass side with axle up to (under) 4200 lbs and total gvw of 8,600 lbs or less.22 means it is metric. Left side uses a different (smaller) adjuster sleeve. Ford had about 4 adjusters to fit several combinations of the F250HD including different sizes between the right and left side. Moog paints the inside threads, this protects from rust but also makes installation more difficult, HINT: if your old tie rod (& end) is not messed up, thread this new adjuster it on to the old tie rod and the end to 1) test the size and 2) clear the threads for installation on the new part. It will turn with difficulty due to the paint - lube with wd40 before installing. Took me longer to find this correct part than it did to tear down and replace the complete set of tie rods.Hope this helps you. If it does, buy me a beer but if i don't show up go ahead and drink it for me.

Moogparts are the best used them for over 50 years never had a failure.Quality parts good price and fast shipping .

I was recently replacing the steering on my 2004 Wrangler and decided I didn't want to have to worry about anything, or deal with the headaches of removing the old rusted together sleeves. Ordered a couple of these, and used them with my new parts to build a complete new steering assembly. Worked great, and made the installed super easy and simple. Definitely recommend installed some anti-seize on the threads of the new steering parts with these to prevent the rusted up mess the next time you go to replace worn tie rod ends or drag links.

Has withstand the extra stress from 33s and a front locker. Bought it to upgrade the original part in my TJ for ZJ V8. I can say that I recommend it after a few years without issues.

Problem with moog is you don't know where it is from unless you buy it locally. You always pay more $$Sometimes it is made in the US and top quality. Sometimes it is globally sourced which means China. If you get one of these, you might as well buy detroit axle parts because they are the same, actually a little worse. The China parts will make it to 6 months, the magic warranty period for most shops. But if its yours and you want a longer life you want the US made.
