Moose Racing Tie Rod Assembly Set

Steering precision on an ATV or UTV takes a beating. Rocks, ruts, mud and hard cornering load the tie rods constantly, and a worn or bent rod end shows up as vague steering, wandering tracking and uneven tire wear. Moose Racing Tie Rod Assembly Sets are built for riders who need to fix that problem with a complete, bolt-on repair rather than piecing parts together.

What Moose Racing Brings to Tie Rod Assembly Sets

Moose has built its reputation since 1986 on off-road hard parts for two- and four-wheel machines, and its tie rod kits reflect that focus on function over fashion. The brand's UTV inner/outer kits are designed around a common weak point: inner rod assemblies with an increased shaft diameter for added strength. For machines that regularly see rough terrain or aggressive driving, that extra material is a meaningful upgrade over a stock rod.

Each UTV assembly kit pairs the inner tie rod end and the shaft that connects to the steering rack with the outer tie rod end. Kits are supplied for the left (driver) or right (passenger) side, and include a replacement boot, clamps and any required lock washers. Having the boot and hardware in the box matters, since a torn boot lets dirt and water into the joint and shortens its life.

Product Types You Will Find

• Inner/outer assembly kits: Side-specific UTV kits that replace the full tie rod from steering rack to knuckle, with heavy-duty rod ends and a boot.
• Outer-only rod end kits: Each contains one tie rod end that attaches to the steering knuckle, and two are required per vehicle. Replacing rod ends can save the cost of a complete steering rack assembly.
• ATV upgrade kits: Moose offers a heavy-duty 12 mm style tie rod assembly as an upgrade from 10 mm tie rod ends that are prone to failure. Kits of this type include two tie rods, four rod ends, cotter pins and jam nuts.

Choosing the Right Kit

Start with the position you are replacing: left or right, inner or outer, front axle. Kits are specific to make, model and year, so confirm fitment before ordering. Consider whether you need the whole assembly or just the outer ends. If the inner rod is bent or the rack-side joint has play, the full inner/outer kit is the cleaner repair. If only the knuckle-side joint is loose, an outer-only kit may be enough.

After installation, have the toe alignment checked and set, and re-torque hardware after the first rides. Inspect the boots regularly, especially after water crossings or mud runs.
