Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, an inner Steering Tie Rod End (P/N TA5298) that transfers steering input from the linkage toward the wheel. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of GM cars, including the 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 1997-2005 Buick Century, 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 1988-2004 Buick Regal, and 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
- OE-derived engineering: Built on Delphi's OE steering expertise and tested to extremes — validated below -40°C and above 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Precision ball stud: Ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Fatigue tested to help resist failure in service.
- Corrosion protection & accessories: Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and appearance, and the necessary accessories for the job are included.
As an inner tie rod end, this unit works with the outer joint to transmit motion from the steering gear to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel. Signs it may need replacing include a knocking or clunking sensation, excessive play or a loose, wandering feel through the steering wheel, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this Delphi replaces it; have a wheel alignment performed after installation.
