MOOG ES3581 Steering Tie Rod End for Honda Civic

I was greatly surprised at the higher quality of this tie rod end when compared to the Raybestos one that I ordered at the same time. I needed two tie rod ends in a hurry and Amazon prime only had one Raybestos so I ordered a Moog. Prior to comparing the two, I was under the impression that the Reaybestos would be the better one. Boy was I wrong. The Moog was substantially better quality. It was thicker, had a larger diameter boot, larger head, and a greasable fitting. It was the exact same length as the stock one I pulled out but was better built. The Raybestos was only equal to the stock one. (I am only guessing these were stock since I bought the car used). My ONLY complaint about the Moog was that the grease fitting hole was not threaded which was solved by a few light taps with a hammer before being able to tighten the fitting with a 9/32 wrench. All in all a GREAT tie rod end! Moog is the ONLY brand I will go to in the future! Definitely worth the few extra dollars! (I WILL update this review if I find that they do not last as long as the Raybestos but I don't think that will be a problem)

I always go for Moog if I want some grease-able parts for my suspension!This was used on my 2003 Honda CivicI recently changed my coilovers on my car and the outer tie rod end was rusted on so I had to hammer it out since I didn't have a pickle fork or a tie rod end remover. As a result, the thread mushroomed but it didn't matter since the bushings were shot anyway.I replaced my tie rod ends with these and the quality can be seen and even felt in your hands. The MOOG ends were extremely more durable and heavier in build quality. The bushings were also a lot larger so more grease can be added so it doesn't squeak ever.This comes with a casket nut, grease zerk and a cotter pin, so basically everything you need for a direct replacement.The only downside is if your grease zerk wasn't installed before you received the tie rod end, it can be a pain in the ass to attach since the threads are so puny but once they're on, they're on and you never need to remove them.

So far so good

These are definitely beefier than stock. Fitment was perfect regardless. The greaseable fitting is a nice touch.It does appear that the threaded section is just a touch shorter than OEM, as they were about half a turn off (I left the jam nut in place to mark the position of the old rod) So I wouldn't trust that method to keep the alignment close.Regardless. these feel better than OEM and you should get an alignment anyway!

This is another quality part from Moog. I used a budget line tie rod end from one of the national parts stores and it fell apart in less than 10k miles. The same thing happened with my budget stabilizer links. They have also been replaced with Moog parts. The castings are beefy and the rubber boots look to be heavy duty. The included hardware matched up perfectly. The only issue I had was with the grease fitting. The hole for the grease fitting was not tapped (not sure if this is on purpose or a flaw). Normally I can twist it in by hand then tighten with a wrench. This one required a socket to apply some pressure while turning. It threaded in fine though and works great. Installed this on a 2002 Honda Civic LX.

The price is cheaper than on MOOG’s official website, kicka$$ if I say so myself. Great quality ends, came brand new as promised.

Fits perfect easy to install

This tie rods are worth every penny i replace all my suspension parts with moog and i can really feel the difference , great quality and performance some of my moog parts are made in Japan ,India ,Mexico and i can tell that the quality is great fit my honda civic sedan ex 2001 both are the same so just order 2 .

Havent used yet but these will be fine, I have used Moog products before and I like them.Honda CRV 2006 EX

Perfect fit for my Honda Civic, love that it comes with everything needed for a quick replacement job. Something to note is that after replacing the tie rod ends, the steering feel becomes much tighter than the OEMs. My girlfriend found it to be too hard her liking.
