Keep your steering tight and your front tires tracking true with the Delphi tie rod (Steering Tie Rod End, MPN TA2229), a left outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transfers steering input to the wheel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1973-1979 Ford F-250 and the 1975-1979 Ford F-350 — a genuine Ford F-250 tie rod end for those trucks. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs this tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk from the steering when turning. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
