Keep your steering tight and precise with the Delphi tie rod end TA5073, a direct-fit left inner steering tie rod end. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2007-2012 Ford E-150, 2008-2012 Ford E-250 and 2008-2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the rest. It links the steering to the wheel, transmitting driver input while allowing suspension travel.
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, and this joint is built to that standard:
- OE-grade validation: tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, plus 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rod ends are fatigue tested to help avoid failure in service.
- Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion treatment applied to each part for corrosion prevention and appearance.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn signs may include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or clunking when turning — if a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level fitment.
