MOOG DS1312 Steering Tie Rod End for Jeep Grand Cherokee

I bought this for my 2001 XJ, to replace worn out original tie rod ends. Steering feels tighter and more responsive after installing this, along with moog sleeves and tie rod ends.

Ordered this hoping to upgrade my steering geometry. Ended up with a box that looks like rats had chewed through it with a missing boot, castle nut, zerk fitting and pin.

Worth the money well made quality

Good steering upgrade for my 05 TJ.

Awesome upgrade for my jeep tj. Very strong.

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.***Note: I did have to tap the hole for the grease zerk as it was smooth inside. I used a 1/4-28 bottom end tap. It may be possible to simply thread the zerk in and it cut it's on threads, but I didn't want to take a chance on damaging it. I'm not sure why they don't tap the hole at the factory. The tie rod end that goes on the opposite end that I got to complete this assembly came with a threaded zerk hole.***

Excellent
