MOOG ES800846 Steering Tie Rod End for Ford Escape

Super easy install and a perfect fit on my daughter's 2010 Ford Escape. Her tie rod ends were super worn and making a lot of noise and causing shaking when breaking. I was concerned about replacing these because I thought it was going to cause me to have to get an alignment afterwards. Before removing the old ones, I took a bunch of measurements to make sure I could get it back in adjustment afterwards. I removed each tie rod end by simply unscrewing it from the steering rack rod, but leaving the lock nut in exactly the same place. Upon comparing these to the OEM ends, I was excited to see that they were precisely the same length from the center of the ball joint to the end that touches the lock nut. I was simply able to screw the new ones back on to bottom out against the lock nuts still in the original position and tighten everything back down. It's nice they have a grease zirk on the top to allow you to keep them lubricated in the future. Super easy job that went way better than expected due to the OE exact sizing of these tie rod ends. After installation I took the car for a drive and everything was perfectly aligned still and the steering wheel perfectly centered. Glad I went with these high quality replacements from a known brand name. They were a great price too! Highly recommend!

Part fit well. Seems to be build of qualift products and it was easy to install.

Moog tie rod end would recommend all Moog products they are awesome the noise have stopped

I ordered 2 but after installing the second one I was pumping grease into it. And realized grease wasn't filling do to a cut in the boot

I ordered a set of Moog steering tie rod ends for a 2nd gen, 2008 Ford Escape AWD Hybrid, I got part number from Moog website to verify fitment. ES800846 are wrong part number, so moog website is wrong as it states this part is specifically for hybrid.I needed the parts asap so I sourced at Advance Auto for the other part Moog lists moog-ES3631, for Escape Hybrid, electric steering rack, and it fits the larger tie rod diameter and is correct diameter size for Ford Hybrid Escape.Moog parts are substantially beefier parts than the OEM parts and are serviceable with grease zerts.

Perfect fit I live in the Midwest so all the salt and snow really rusted the jam nut so I had to buy a $15 torch from Walmart and PB blaster penetrating fluid and using an adjustable wrench on the jam nut while holding the inner tie rod with some pliers i loosened it on the passenger side. Driver’s side the bolt kept spinning while attempting to remove it I used my pliers put them between the bushing and the knuckle and Pryor dot upward and wrenched it out.

The hole was too small to fit on the end of my steering rack. As you can see in the pictures the stock tie rod has a larger hole, and fits perfectly on the steering rack versus the new one which does not. It’s a quality and well built product, however it didn’t fit on my 2009 Ford Escape XLT

Great sturdy product. You can always rely on moog.
