Product Description
Restore tight steering response and eliminate front-end looseness with the MOOG DS1463 Right Outer Tie Rod End. Designed for the 2003–2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 4WD trucks, this premium steering component is part of MOOG’s legendary Problem Solver® lineup built to outperform OE designs and extend service life in demanding truck applications.
MOOG engineered this tie rod end using heavy-duty materials and advanced design improvements including a greasable socket and powdered-metal gusher bearing. These features allow lubrication to flow across the bearing surfaces, reducing friction and improving durability under heavy steering loads. The result is tighter steering feel, improved handling, and longer component life for hard-working diesel trucks.
