Delphi TA2698 tie rod end for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles carries steering input from the steering gear out toward the wheel. It is also called a steering tie rod end, and this one is for the inner position.
- Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and Delphi applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering parts.
- Tested to withstand temperatures below -40 degrees C and over 120 degrees C, and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
- Ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to avoid failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part.
A worn tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk, or uneven tire wear. With the engine off, look the steering linkage over for torn boots, leaking grease or rust. Alignment and other suspension parts can also cause these signs, so find the cause before you buy. Plan on two, one on each side of the vehicle, and fit them as a pair.
As an inner tie rod end, it also fits the 2012-2017 Buick Verano and the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited.
