Description

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the QuickSteer ES406R Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End — the connection that links your steering to the front wheels. If you’re chasing a worn Monte Carlo tie rod end, this front outer unit drops in on the 1971-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, El Camino and Monte Carlo, GMC Sprint, Buick GS, GS 455, Skylark and Sportwagon, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme, F85 and Vista Cruiser, Pontiac GTO and LeMans, plus the 1971 Oldsmobile 442. See the Buyer’s Guide tab for the full list.

  • Forged alloy steel: built for durability, with ball studs heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
  • Greaseable socket: lets new lubricant flush contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear, and a premium boot keeps contaminants out.
  • Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design that adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear, working with a pressed-in cover plate that seals out debris and minimizes looseness.

Designed for OE fit and function, it installs with precision tolerances for easier steering alignment. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and play or clunking in the steering.
