Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA6408
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.
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.
