Description

Help address loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA5246), an inner tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the 2005-2011 Ford Ranger. It connects the steering linkage to the wheel assembly and transmits steering input, and its ball stud pivots to allow suspension travel while keeping the wheel pointed where you steer.

OE-developed durability: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, testing parts below -40°C, above 120°C, and through 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Micron-tolerance ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Ready to install: Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.

Signs an inner tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, play in the wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have your alignment checked after installation.
