Steering Tie Rod End Overview

The MOOG ES2078LT is an outer steering tie rod end for select Ford trucks and SUVs with left outer fitment. It is built with superior materials and tested for dependable steering performance, making it a direct replacement option for common steering wear.

Fits 1980-1997 Ford F-350, left outer; 1980-1996 Ford Bronco, left outer; 1980-1996 Ford F-150, left outer; 1980-1996 Ford F-250, left outer; 1980-1983 Ford F-100, left outer; 1983-1991 Ford Ranger, left outer; 1992 Ford Ranger, left outer; and 1997 Ford F-250 and F-250 HD, left outer.

Key Features

  • Outer tie rod end for steering linkage service.
  • Male end design for confirmed application fitment.
  • MOOG problem-solving engineering for easier installation.
  • Built with materials selected for consistent steering response.
  • Part number ES2078LT for accurate ordering and replacement matching.

Detailed Description

MOOG ES2078LT is engineered for the left outer steering position on compatible Ford applications, including the F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, Ranger, and F-100. The design focuses on restoring steering connection at the outer tie rod end, where wear can affect alignment stability and steering feel. This part number, ES2078LT, is a practical OE-style replacement for service work on older Ford steering systems.

The included powdered-metal Gusher bearing noted in the fitment data is used on select applications to allow grease to reach bearing surfaces more effectively. That lubrication-focused design supports smoother operation in steering service where joint wear and looseness are common concerns. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES2078LT for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Steering looseness at the outer tie rod end.
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage components.
  • Clunking or play in the steering system.
  • Alignment drift after steering component wear.
  • Restoring steering response on aging Ford trucks and SUVs.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer position, male end configuration, and exact vehicle application before installation. Fitment varies by model year and suspension setup, including Twin I-Beam axle applications and notes such as Thru 5/92 on select Ranger listings. After replacement, a professional alignment is recommended to confirm steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

MOOG backs this steering tie rod end with superior materials and rigorous testing for reliable service performance. The ES2078LT is part of MOOG's steering and chassis lineup, known for application-focused engineering and service-friendly design.
