Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA1978, an inner tie rod end that connects the steering rack to the outer linkage and helps transmit steering input to the wheel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2013 Mazda 3, 2009-2013 Mazda 3 Sport, and the 2006-2010 and 2012-2015 Mazda 5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

  • Built on OE safety technology: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, running dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. Parts are validated below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray.
  • Micron-tolerance ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics, and the necessary accessories for a complete job are included.

Worn inner tie rod ends can produce steering play, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; if a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
