lock Warranty Information keyboard_arrow_down
Moog fulfills their warranty through their individual dealers. That means that in order to receive warranty support, you will have to refer back to the original dealer you purchased the part from. Be sure to check the dealer's warranty support before you buy the part to make sure that they will properly support the warranty. If a dealer will only refer you back to the manufacturer in order to receive warranty support, then you may not actually have any warranty at all.
Part of our warranty process includes reviewing evidence of the defect provided by the customer. This is easily accomplished by providing video or images of the defective part so our staff can verify the claim and move forward with the warranty process. This removes the necessity of shipping the part back to our facility at the customer's expense.
WARRANTY:
Moog Premium Steering Components carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Moog R-Series Control Arms, Hub Assemblies, and Strut Assemblies carry a 3 Year Warranty.
Moog warranties their parts to be free of defects in materials and/or workmanship during these timeframes as measured from the date of purchase.
If a Moog part should fail due to materials or manufacturing defect while under warranty, we will provide a replacement of the part upon return of the defective part.
Wearable RUBBER parts are not covered under warranty (Dust boots, bushings, bump stops, etc.)

Moog Knows Your GM Truck is Having Problems
You never forget the first day your precious truck started having all the problems it is now. You started your GM truck up one day to go haul a trailer or to just go about your day as usual and for the first time you feel the looseness in your steering and the poor handling. You don't know why so you just ignore it for a little while and hope it goes away. However, after a few weeks, it still hasn't gone away. Now you just have to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it. The problem is your inner tie rods have failed and it's messing up your steering. It doesn't take a DST parts expert to realize that you need to get your truck working properly so that you can pick up that next big load with confidence. The solution to your problem? Moog's inner tie rod ES3488.
OE Design Flaws
The problem started when the OE inner tie rod's preload spring shattering under loads. The loss of this socket assembly causes extra movement, which results in loose steering, misalignment, and poor handling. Does all of this sound familiar? This is what happened to your Chevy, GMC, or Cadillac full-size truck. But, there is hope to come. Don't send that truck to the dump just yet.
Moog's Problem Solver
Once Moog's engineers identified the problem in your truck they came up with a solution like only Moog can. ES3488 uses Moog's specified housing and Belleville washer design to eliminate spring bind and shattering under a load. Moog also incorporated hardened powdered-metal bearings that provide a smooth, durable surface that extends service life. The grease grooves in the front and rear bearings of the ES3488 ensures lubrication flows properly to the bearing surface.
DST Will Handle Your Moog Warranty for You
The other day you never forget is when you've fixed all the problems you've been having. With ES3488 that day can be closer than you think. ES3488 also comes with a lifetime warranty that is handled in house at DST. That way, if you ever do have to replace this part, you know we'll take care of the warranty for you.
