Overview

MOOG® innovation surpasses the original design.

The style of the MOOG® Problem Solver® ES3646 tie rod end differs from the OE and other replacement parts. It does not include the vibration damper, which has been known to fail.

MOOG has improved the Audi/VW tie rod end by eliminating the susceptible rubber element, replacing it with a strong, forged one-piece design – with no increase in steering vibration.
