Help tighten up loose, wandering steering and restore precise wheel control with the Delphi tie rod, an inner Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA1442). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1993 Volvo 240, the 1987-1989 Volvo 244, and the 1987-1989 Volvo 245 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
This inner tie rod end connects the steering linkage to help transfer steering input to the wheels; worn joints can cause play in the steering, clunking or knocking when turning, and uneven tire wear. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it.
