It features a straight design, black coated finish, steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot. The unit is pre-greased and does not require a grease fitting, which helps simplify service while maintaining a sealed steering joint. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper compatibility with the original steering geometry on vehicles such as the Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A8, and Audi A8 Quattro. This part cross-references MOOG ES3646 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring steering precision when the outer tie rod end is worn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing looseness or play in the front steering linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting clunking or knocking from the front suspension and steering area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a damaged dust boot or corroded steering joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting proper toe alignment after steering service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 1996-1999 Audi A4, outer.
