Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1289
Steer sharp and keep your front end tracking true with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA2809, an outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transfers steering input to the wheel. This Delphi tie rod is a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2007 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable — a great choice when you need a Ford Taurus tie rod that carries Delphi's OE engineering.
Worn tie rod ends may show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk when turning; if a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete left-and-right replacement, and have the alignment checked after installation.
