Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod TA5266, a direct-fit front Steering Tie Rod End for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and 1999 Dodge Durango. The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transfers steering input to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel; loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking can be signs a tie rod end may need replacing, so if a failed tie rod end is behind those symptoms, this replaces it.

  • Micron-tolerance ball studs: Delphi machines the ball studs to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
  • OE-level validation: tested to extremes — below -40 °C to over 120 °C and 720 hours of salt spray — with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. A great choice if you're tackling a 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota tie rod replacement on the front end.
