About this product
Upgrade your steering control and reliability with the Apex Chassis Left Outer Tie Rod End. Built from forged SAE-grade steel and designed with precision-machined components, this tie rod end delivers exceptional strength, smooth steering response, and long-lasting performance under heavy loads or off-road stress. Whether you’re daily driving, towing, or hitting the trail, Apex Chassis provides OEM+ quality and proven dependability trusted by professional installers and enthusiasts alike.
Steering Fitment Note:
This tie rod end is designed specifically for the factory Y-style steering used on 2003–2008 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.
It will not fit trucks that have been upgraded to the later T-style steering (2008.5–2013).
HOUSING
- SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
- CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
BALL STUDS
- SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
- Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
- Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
- Step Threads: allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
BEARING DESIGN
- Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing
BOOTS
- CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold
- Compression Boot
HARDWARE
- Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
- Tension Nut: Very strong hold in most applications.
LUBRICATION
- Pre threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
- Greaseable: Because it should be.
- Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
- Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
- Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.
