MOOG EV463 Tie Rod End

Initially nervous about replacing the inner tie rods on my 2005 F-150 2wd but couldn’t have been easier. Best thing I did for myself was soak all the nuts on the truck with penetrating lube for a few days before. Inner tie rod came off very easily using a pipe wrench, no need for a specialty tie rod tool. Removed the inner and outer tie rods as an assembly so I could get an overall measurement for rebuild and as close to aligned as possible. Tools needed 21mm deep socket for outter tie rod 2 lrg adjustable wrenches for jam nut and to hold outter tie rod 1 needle nose pliers for bellows boot clip 1 flat head to break upper bellows boot clamp 1 ratchet 1 pipe wrench for inner tie rod nut Blue thread locker for inner tie rod 2 lrg zip ties to reattach upper portion of bellows boot Took me 2 hrs start to finish

This is an inner tie rod and was the exact replacement for the original part. That makes installation simple and easy. The part and joint are of good quality and feel solidly put together, no slop in the joint. Just remember, you will need an alignment after you replace this part.

Nice, quality part. Just to feel it in your hands, you can feel there is a difference in Moog parts. Yes, you will have to buy two outer tie rods and two inners depending on what you’re changing, but Moog products are well worth the money. And remember, “If it’s not in a Moog box, it’s not Moog.” Plus the customer service is good. They did an advertisement where if you sent them a picture they sent you a free Moog hat. I like when a quality company interacts with their customers.

Looks like a solid part. It's about 2 inches shorter than the one I have on my truck so I had to return it. It said it fit, but it didn't. Reinstalled the old one until I get a replacement that fits. Very easy to install. 2007 F150 XL 2WD

They fitted perfectly in my 05 f150 xlt, and go in just as oem easy to replace.
