Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA470

$14.99

Description

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA470 — a front tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1985 Ford Escort. This Delphi tie rod end links the steering linkage to the front steering knuckle, transmitting the driver's input to the front wheels while its ball stud pivots to allow the wheel to steer and travel with the suspension.

Front tie rod end: serves the front steering linkage, carrying motion from the steering to the front wheel.
Pivoting ball stud: housed in a socket so the joint can articulate as the wheels steer and the suspension moves.
Threaded stud and adjuster connection: fastens into the steering assembly to help set and hold toe alignment.

Signs this part may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, a wandering feel, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk when turning — have the cause diagnosed, since these can have other sources. The tie rod ends work as a pair; replacing both sides and having the alignment checked is good practice.
