Firm up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod end TA2296, a right inner Steering Tie Rod End that transfers steering input from the linkage to the steering knuckle. This Delphi tie rod end drops in on the 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250, 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator, 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, and the 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
If a worn right inner tie rod end is the cause of loose steering, play in the wheel, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before ordering, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque.
