Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA5029), an inner tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 Infiniti QX4, 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. This inner joint connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transmitting steering input to the wheel and helping keep the front end properly aligned.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn tie rod ends can show as clunking, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play in the steering wheel — if a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the vehicle aligned after installation.

Does this Delphi tie rod end fit my Nissan Pathfinder?

Is this an inner or outer tie rod end?
This is the inner tie rod end (MPN TA5029), which connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod on the listed applications.
What does a Delphi tie rod end review look for in quality?
Delphi tests to OE performance targets, with ball studs machined to micron tolerances, fatigue testing to help avoid failure, and anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
What are signs my tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, clunking, play in the steering wheel, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can produce these symptoms.
Do I need an alignment after installing this Delphi track rod end?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes toe settings, so have a professional alignment performed after installation for proper handling and even tire wear.
