Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5696
Keep your steering linkage tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA1624, an outer tie rod end that links the steering system to the front-wheel knuckle and transmits your steering input to turn the wheels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1995 Mazda 323, 1992-1996 Mazda MX-3, 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, and 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
Worn tie rod ends can cause loose or wandering steering, a knocking noise over bumps, and uneven front tire wear. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; have the front end aligned after installation for proper steering and even tire wear.
