Help keep steering tight and responsive with the Delphi tie rod (part number TA2042), a right outer steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transfers steering input to the wheel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2003-2010 SAAB 9-3, 2010 SAAB 9-3X, and 2002-2009 SAAB 9-5 (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine specifics).
- OE-derived engineering: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket part, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
- Tested to extremes: withstands temperatures below -40 degrees C and over 120 degrees C and is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
- Precision ball stud: ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, and the tie rods are fatigue tested to avoid failure.
- Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics; Delphi also includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
Signs the right outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and knocking or looseness in the steering. If a worn right outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced steering.
