Description

Help keep your truck's steering tight and predictable with the Delphi tie rod end, part number TA5046. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011 Ram 3500 and installs at the pitman arm position in the steering linkage.

Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company brings that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering line. Delphi tests these parts to the extreme for OE performance at every turn. They are built to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray. Extensive dimensional and material analysis is aimed at close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.

Precision ball stud: the ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods go through fatigue testing intended to help avoid failure.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part to help prevent corrosion and improve appearance.
Accessories included: Delphi supplies the necessary accessories for the job.

This tie rod end forms a pivoting joint that passes steering motion toward the wheels while letting the suspension move. Signs it may need replacing include excess steering-wheel play, wandering, uneven tire wear, or clunking when turning. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the linkage first, and have a wheel alignment done after installation.
