Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2998
$39.99

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA2998 — a right outer steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the wheel and transmits your steering input while allowing for suspension travel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2014-2019 Ford Transit Connect, 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX, and the 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).

  • OE-derived engineering: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket part, tested to extremes — below -40°C, over 120°C, and 720 hours of salt spray — with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid premature failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
  • Accessories: Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.

Signs this part may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, a wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or clunking when turning. If a worn right outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this Delphi tie rod end do?

It connects the steering linkage to the wheel, transmitting your steering input to the knuckle while allowing the suspension to move through its travel.

Does the TA2998 fit a 2013 Ford Escape?

Yes. This is a direct-fit right outer tie rod end for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, among other listed applications. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Which position is this tie rod end?

It is the right outer steering tie rod end. Confirm your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.

What are the signs my tie rod end needs replacing?

Common signs include play or looseness in the steering, a wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or clunking when turning. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.

Should I get an alignment after installing it?
