Detailed Description

The DS1163 is a steering tie rod end for Ford chassis applications that use a right outer position and the specified thread and length requirements. It is engineered as a direct steering linkage replacement for vehicles such as the Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis, Ford F-Super Duty, and Ford F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis. The straight body style and female-threaded ends support accurate steering connection geometry, while the greaseable design allows periodic service. The DS1163 part number is also useful when matching replacement steering components by specification.

MOOG is known for chassis parts that incorporate design updates aimed at extending service life and making replacement work more straightforward. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring steering linkage connection at the right outer position.
• Replacing worn tie rod ends with excessive play.
• Addressing steering looseness or wandering caused by linkage wear.
• Correcting thread-matching issues during steering component replacement.
• Supporting serviceable steering maintenance with a greaseable design.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering configuration, thread size, thread direction, and installed length before ordering. This component is specified for right outer applications with a 1.250-inch x 16 thread and a 54.240 length measurement. Always confirm the existing steering linkage matches the DS1163 part number and fitment notes before installation.

Quality Assurance

MOOG chassis products are developed with design enhancements intended to improve replacement efficiency and product life. The DS1163 follows that engineering approach for steering service applications.
