Detailed Description

MOOG ES3489 is an inner steering tie rod end engineered for vehicles that require a straight, male-threaded replacement at the inner steering linkage. The thread sizes and pitch are important for proper fitment, with a 14.0 mm x 1.5 thread on one end and an 18.0 mm x 1.5 thread on the other. This makes ES3489 a fitment-specific steering component for 1999-2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 2000 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, 1999-2000 GMC Sierra 2500, and 2000 GMC Yukon XL 2500.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn inner tie rod end on a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 or GMC Sierra 2500, ES3489 provides a direct-service option with the correct thread profile and steering geometry requirements for the listed applications.
