Description

Help tighten up steering play with the Delphi tie rod — the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End (TA1978), an inner tie rod end that links the steering gear to the wheel and helps translate steering input into wheel movement. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2011 Mazda 3 and the 2006-2010 and 2012 Mazda 5 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications).

OE-focused engineering: built on Delphi's OE steering expertise, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
Tested to extremes: validated below -40°C and above 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, and fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
Corrosion protected: anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics. Includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.

Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
