Description

Hold the steering linkage tight and precise with the MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end DS300013 — a greaseable steering drag link that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500, 2011-2012 Ram 4500 and 5500, 2008-2009 Sterling Truck Bullet 45, and 2008 Sterling Truck Bullet 55. Cataloged for the right-hand connecting-rod position, it transfers motion from the steering gear through the linkage to help turn the front wheels.

  • Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps eliminate spring bind and shattering during shock load.
  • Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
  • Greaseable socket: a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris while the socket lets new lubricant flush out contaminants, reducing bearing wear.

Precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment. Loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel, clunking when turning, or uneven tire wear can be signs this part may need replacing — diagnose the cause first. Because it’s classified as a Tie Rod End but described by MOOG as a Steering Drag Link, it’s listed under both names.
