Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2549
$54.99

Firm up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA2549 — a left outer steering tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1978-1979 Ford Bronco, the 1978-1979 Ford F-150, the 1977-1979 Ford F-250, and the 1979 Ford F-350. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.

A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while its ball stud pivots to allow suspension travel. If play in a worn joint is the cause of vague steering, this Delphi unit replaces it. Drawing on Delphi's OE steering expertise, it's built and tested for OE-level performance.

  • OE-grade testing: withstands temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics, and the necessary accessories for a complete job are included.

Sold individually as the left outer position; order the matching part for the opposite side if needed.

Does this Ford F-150 tie rod end fit my truck?

Will this F-250 tie rod end fit my Ford?

For the F-250, this left outer tie rod end fits 1977-1979 models. It covers only the left-hand outer position, so order the matching part for the other side if needed.

Is this a left or right side tie rod end?

This is the left outer steering tie rod end. It is sold individually, so the opposite side requires a separate matching part.

What are the signs a tie rod end may need replacing?

Play or looseness in the steering, a clunk when turning, uneven front tire wear, or wandering can indicate a worn tie rod end. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
