Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA2042, the right outer tie rod end that links the steering system to the wheel and transmits your steering input to the road. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 SAAB 9-3, 2010-2011 SAAB 9-3X, and 2002-2009 SAAB 9-5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
- OE-derived engineering: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to its aftermarket portfolio, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
- Tested to the extreme: validated below -40°C and above 120°C, and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray for OE-level performance.
- Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, and the part is fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
- Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion treatment applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear; if a failed right outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before ordering, and have the alignment checked after installation.
