Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2172

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the DELPHI tie rod end TA2172, the left outer joint that links the steering system to the steering knuckle so front-wheel movement tracks your inputs. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM compacts, including the 1987-1996 Chevrolet Beretta, 1982-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1986-1998 Buick Skylark, 1992-1998 Oldsmobile Achieva, 1985-1998 Pontiac Grand Am and 1986-1994 Pontiac Sunbird — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 17 applications.

• OE-derived engineering: built with Delphi's OE steering expertise; parts endure below -40°C to over 120°C and 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
• Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
• Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rod ends are fatigue tested to guard against failure.
• Corrosion protection: an anti-corrosion coating is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.

Signs this part may need replacing include steering play, a wandering feel, clunking over the front end, and uneven tire wear. Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Sold individually as the left outer joint; consider replacing the right-side outer tie rod end at the same time for balanced steering feel.
