Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2112
Tighten up loose steering with the Delphi tie rod end (P/N TA3011), an OUTER steering tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 Ford Escape, 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2011 Mercury Mariner. This outer joint links the steering system to the wheel, transmitting steering input while allowing the wheel to pivot and move with the suspension. If a worn tie rod end is behind your play in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking sound over bumps, this is the part that replaces it — a smart Ford Escape tie rod replacement choice.
Sold individually; replacing left and right tie rod ends together is good practice for balanced steering.
