Description

Hold your front-end alignment true with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve TA5553. This threaded sleeve joins the inner and outer tie rod ends and lets a technician set tie rod length to dial in front toe. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of classic Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications, including the 1975-1980 Ford Granada, 1972-1979 Ford Ranchero, 1972-1979 Ford Thunderbird, 1972-1979 Lincoln Continental, 1973-1979 Mercury Cougar and 1975-1980 Mercury Monarch — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Built on OE expertise: Delphi applies its OE steering know-how to the aftermarket, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. Parts are validated to extremes — from below -40°C to over 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray.
Fatigue tested: tested to help guard against in-service failure.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.
Complete job: includes the necessary accessories to finish the installation.

Worn, seized or corroded sleeves and clamps can make it hard to hold a toe setting and may lead to uneven tire wear. If the original sleeve is the cause, this replaces it. Have the alignment reset after installation.

Buyer's Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tie rod end adjusting sleeve do?

It threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends and lets a technician adjust tie rod length, which sets the front-end toe alignment.

Does this Delphi TA5553 fit my vehicle?

It fits many 1972-1980 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, such as the Granada, Ranchero, Thunderbird, Continental, Cougar and Monarch. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact year and model.

What are signs the adjusting sleeve needs replacing?

Corroded, seized or damaged sleeves and clamps can make it difficult to hold a toe setting and may contribute to uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Do I need an alignment after installing this sleeve?

Yes. Because the sleeve sets tie rod length and front toe, have the wheel alignment checked and reset after installation.
