Delphi Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:TA5553
Dial in accurate front-end alignment with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve TA5901. This threaded sleeve joins the inner and outer tie rod ends and lets a technician rotate it to set toe during a wheel alignment, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage. Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, backing this component with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and replacement part.
Worn or seized adjusting sleeves can make it difficult to hold a proper toe setting or show corrosion that resists adjustment. If the original sleeve is the cause, this replaces it and restores the ability to set alignment. Sold individually.
