MOOG Steering Tie Rod End for 2016–2024 Subaru Crosstrek ES3712 — OE-Style Fit, Durable Sealed Boot

MOOG ES3712 is an OE-style outer tie rod end engineered to restore precise steering feel and durable performance for 2016–2024 Subaru Crosstrek vehicles.

If your Crosstrek shows loose steering, uneven tire wear, or a vague steering wheel, the outer tie rod end is often the cause. The MOOG ES3712 replaces the worn factory part with a unit built from reinforced materials and protective seals to resist contaminants and maintain smooth steering response. MOOG’s engineering focuses on fit, function, and simplified installation so you can return the vehicle to predictable handling with minimal fuss.

How does the ES3712 improve steering feel on my Crosstrek?

The ES3712 is designed to match original equipment geometry while offering enhanced durability. Restoring precise ball-joint articulation reduces play in the steering linkage, helping the wheel track more accurately and reducing wandering or shimmy at speed.

• OE-style dimensions for correct alignment and geometry
• Precision-machined stud and taper for tight steering linkage fit
• Resistant seals to retain lubrication and prevent grit intrusion

What makes MOOG’s ES3712 easier to install than other replacements?

MOOG engineers parts with installer-friendly features and quality control to minimize fitment headaches. The ES3712’s tapered stud and consistent dimensions reduce the need for modification, and MOOG’s problem-solving design aims to speed up removal and replacement of the worn unit.
