Application Details

This inner tie rod end is used in steering systems on 1964-1980 GM passenger cars and vans, including Chevrolet Nova, Camaro, Malibu, Monte Carlo, El Camino, Buick Skylark and Skyhawk, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Starfire, Pontiac GTO, LeMans, Tempest, Firebird, Sunbird, Grand Prix, and GMC G15/G1500 and G25/G2500 vans. The ES681N is intended for inner steering linkage service where a straight male-to-male tie rod end is required.

MOOG ES681N is a practical replacement choice when restoring steering feel, correcting worn linkage components, or servicing looseness in the inner tie rod area. It is also a direct-fit option for many classic Chevrolet Nova and Camaro steering repairs, as well as Pontiac GTO and Buick Skylark applications.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play or looseness in the inner linkage
• Clunking or wandering caused by worn tie rod components
• Uneven steering response during lane changes or turns
• Restoration of steering geometry on older GM platforms
• Replacement of a worn ES681N-style inner tie rod end

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s steering configuration, thread style, and overall length before installation. Because this part is non-greaseable, routine lubrication service is not part of its design. Professional alignment is recommended after steering linkage replacement to confirm proper toe settings and steering wheel centering.

MOOG backs this inner tie rod end with superior materials and rigorous testing to support reliable steering performance and straightforward installation. Part number ES681N is engineered for consistent fitment across the listed GM applications.
