Keep your steering precise and play-free with the Delphi tie rod end, part number TA5338 — an inner tie rod end that links the steering gear to the outer tie rod so your input is faithfully translated to the wheels. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1967-1969 Ford Fairlane, 1967-1970 Ford Falcon, 1967-1969 Ford Ranchero, 1968-1969 Ford Torino, 1967-1969 Mercury Comet, 1967-1969 Mercury Cyclone and 1968-1969 Mercury Montego.
Delphi applies its OE engineering to its aftermarket steering portfolio, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn inner tie rod ends can cause loose, wandering steering, uneven tire wear or a clunk — if the inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. As an inner joint, it is sold individually; replace in matched pairs as directed by your service procedure.
