Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1652
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.
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.
