Firm up the link between your steering gear and the wheels with the Delphi tie rod end TA2211, an inner tie rod joint that helps transfer steering motion through the steering linkage. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and 2001-2010 Mazda B2300 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and your engine.
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket joint: parts are tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Micron-machined ball stud: ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: tested to help avoid premature failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
- Ready to install: Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
If a worn inner tie rod is the cause of loose, wandering steering, a knock when turning, or feathered tire wear, this joint replaces it.
