Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1145
The Delphi tie rod, part number TA2162, is a left inner steering tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion. It ties the steering linkage to the front wheel, transferring driver input through the pivoting ball joint so the wheel turns.
If a worn left inner tie rod end is behind loose, wandering steering, a knock when turning, or uneven front tire wear, this joint replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and have an alignment performed afterward. Sold individually.
