Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA6408
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA1991 — an inner Steering Tie Rod End that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Ford Focus and 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect. This inner joint transmits motion from the steering rack to the outer linkage, helping the front wheels turn together. If a worn inner tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or play and clunk in the linkage, this Delphi tie rod end replaces it.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Sold individually; inspect both sides and replace as directed by the service procedure.
