Detailed Description

MOOG DS1462 is designed for steering linkage service where precise thread specification and length are required. The part number DS1462 is associated with select Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 left inner applications, including 2000-2002 Ram 3500 listings with solid front axle notes. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 45A3078, 46A3078A) for the same application.

MOOG positions this inner tie rod end as a problem-solving steering component with materials and testing focused on consistent performance. The powdered-metal gusher bearing noted in fitment data supports grease flow across bearing surfaces, which is relevant for steering service and long-term joint movement.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring steering linkage geometry when the inner tie rod end is worn.
  • Addressing looseness or play in the steering system.
  • Replacing a damaged threaded steering joint with the correct thread specification.
  • Correcting steering response issues tied to inner tie rod wear.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the left inner position, thread direction, thread diameter, and length before installation. Match the application notes for Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 carefully, especially the 2000-2002 Ram 3500 solid front axle listing. Professional alignment service is recommended after steering component replacement.

Quality Assurance

MOOG states that this steering component is backed by superior materials and rigorous testing for reliable performance.
