Tighten up loose, wandering steering on your truck with the Delphi tie rod — the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA5281, an outer tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota. It links the steering system to the wheel so your inputs translate into precise, controlled turns.
