Help keep steering input traveling cleanly from the steering linkage to the wheel with the Delphi tie rod end, part number TA5091, an outer tie rod end built with Delphi's OE steering expertise. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1996-2001 Nissan Altima, 1986-2006 Nissan Sentra and 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Mounted at the outer end of the tie rod, this steering tie rod end forms the pivoting joint that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. It passes your steering movement to the wheel while the suspension travels up and down. If a worn outer joint is behind loose steering or clunking in turns, this Delphi tie rod replaces it.
- Tested to extremes: Delphi puts its steering parts through temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, plus 720 hours of salt spray exposure.
- Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Delphi fatigue tests its tie rods to help prevent failure.
- Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and a cleaner appearance.
Delphi also runs dimensional and material analysis comparing its aftermarket parts with the OE part for compatibility, and it includes the accessories it specifies for the job. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
