Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1289
Tighten up sloppy steering with the Delphi tie rod end TA2420, an inner steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage and helps locate the front wheels so your steering inputs track precisely. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk from the steering linkage, excess play at the wheel, and uneven front tire wear — diagnose the cause before ordering, and if a worn inner tie rod end is behind it, this replaces it. This inner tie rod end is sold individually; inspect the opposite side and replace as a pair where the service procedure directs.
