Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1289
Help keep your steering tight and precise with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA2189 — a Delphi tie rod that draws on the OE expertise the brand applies to its aftermarket steering line. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1998-2003 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, and 1998-2004 Mazda B3000 (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level detail). This outer tie rod end links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your steering input to the wheel; if a worn outer joint is behind vague steering, a knocking on turns, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
