Take up play in loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, an inner Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA1677) built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2009 Saturn Astra. It links the steering system to the wheel, transferring steering input while allowing for suspension and steering movement — worn joints can show up as excess play, imprecise steering, uneven tire wear, or a knock when turning, all signs this part may need replacing.
