Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5312

$22.99

Description

Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi tie rod — the Steering Tie Rod End TA5312, an outer joint that links the steering linkage to the knuckle so driver input translates into precise wheel movement while allowing the suspension to travel. This Delphi tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II, the 1973-1980 Ford Pinto, and the 1975-1980 Mercury Bobcat (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail).

OE-grade validation: built on Delphi's OE steering expertise and tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C, plus 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Complete job: includes the necessary accessories to finish the installation.
Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested to help avoid premature failure.
Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.

Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knock when turning; if a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually — replace both sides together as a matched pair for balanced steering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Delphi tie rod end fit my Mustang II?
