Vehicle Compatibility Matrix

Key Engineering Features

• Gusher Bearing Technology – Metal-to-metal design provides maximum strength and allows grease to flow freely through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
• Belleville Preload Washer – Effectively absorbs road impacts and eliminates spring bind or shattering during high shock loads.
• Heat-Treated Studs – Ball studs undergo a rigorous heat-processing cycle to match or exceed OE strength, preventing premature fatigue failure.
• Wrench Flats – Built-in flats on the housing and stud allow for easy installation and precise toe-angle adjustments during alignment.
• Corrosion Resistant – Features a protective coating to withstand salt, moisture, and road chemicals common in harsh environments.

Installation Guide

Professional installation and alignment are highly recommended:

1. Preparation: Jack up the front of the vehicle and remove the front wheel.
2. Disconnect: Separate the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle and then unscrew it from the inner tie rod.
3. Removal: Remove the steering rack boot and use an inner tie rod tool to unscrew the EV800935 from the rack.
4. Assembly: Apply thread locker to the new tie rod and torque to factory specifications. Reinstall the rack boot.
5. Final Step: Reattach the outer tie rod and always perform a professional 4-wheel alignment to prevent rapid tire wear.

The MOOG Advantage

MOOG is known worldwide as the "Problem Solver" in the chassis industry. While OEM parts often prioritize cost-savings, MOOG engineers focus on durability. The EV800935 inner tie rod addresses common failure points in Heavy Duty steering systems, providing a more robust connection that stands up to the torque of Duramax and Vortec powered trucks.
