Genuine Moog ES429RL Tie Rod End (NORS)
This genuine Moog steering component is a premium New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) front outer tie rod end, meticulously manufactured in the USA to restore factory-correct steering response and safety to your classic Ford or Mercury vehicle. As an aftermarket leader, Moog engineered this "Problem Solver" part with a durable metal-to-metal design and a powdered-metal gusher bearing to allow grease to penetrate bearing surfaces, significantly reducing friction and wear compared to original equipment plastic designs. It is a critical component for maintaining precise wheel alignment and eliminating steering play in iconic small-chassis models equipped with manual steering, including the Ford Pinto, Mustang II, and Mercury Bobcat. This authentic vintage part offers the structural integrity and period-correct durability essential for high-quality restorations and reliable road performance.

Note on Stock Photos: Due to our volume of identical, interchangeable inventory, we use representative stock photos for this model. The image is for reference only and may depict a specific manufacturer (e.g., 'AC'). You will receive a part that meets all listed specifications, which may be from the manufacturer shown or a fully equivalent alternative.
A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research and cross-reference our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs. While we strive for 100% accuracy, these decades-old resources—and the humans reading them—can occasionally contain errors. Additionally, these parts may fit other vehicles and years not explicitly listed in our data. To ensure a seamless restoration, we kindly ask that you perform your own due diligence and verify that this specific part number is correct for your application prior to purchase.
Unbeatable Prices & Expectations
This is a New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) item, meaning it is a vintage part manufactured decades ago by an aftermarket brand but never installed on a vehicle. As with all vintage automotive inventory, the original packaging may show significant signs of "shelf wear," including dust, tearing, or discoloration. The part itself may have minor surface oxidation or cosmetic imperfections from years of storage that do not affect its mechanical integrity. We take great pride in offering these hard-to-find components at competitive prices to help keep your classic on the road.
