Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2498

$39.99

Description

Keep steering input flowing cleanly from the linkage to the front wheel with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA2498. This left outer steering tie rod end installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018 Ford EcoSport and 2011-2019 Ford Fiesta — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact model and engine. Built on Delphi's OE steering expertise, it's a straightforward Fiesta tie rod replacement when the original joint wears out.

OE-grade testing: Validated to Delphi's OE performance standards — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Micron-tolerance ball stud: The ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
Anti-corrosion protection: Applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Complete-job accessories: Delphi includes the accessories needed for the job.

A tie rod end connects the outer tie rod to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel while allowing suspension and steering travel. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk through the wheel over bumps or when turning, and uneven front tire wear — because these can have other causes, diagnose the linkage before replacing. This is the left outer joint, sold individually.
