Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA6401
Keep steering input flowing cleanly from the linkage to the wheels with the Delphi tie rod end TA5077, an outer tie rod end backed by Delphi's OE steering expertise. This Delphi tie rod drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2008-2012 Ford Taurus, 2010-2012 Ford Flex and 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
The outer tie rod end links the steering system to the steering knuckle, using an articulating ball stud to transmit steering motion and turn the wheels. Worn play, clunking on turns, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear can be signs this joint may need replacing; if a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it.
