Steer with confidence and quiet the loose, wandering feel of a worn joint with the Delphi tie rod, part number TA5376. This outer steering tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1975-1980 Ford Granada, 1975-1977 Ford Maverick, 1975-1977 Mercury Comet, 1975-1980 Mercury Monarch, and 1977-1980 Lincoln Versailles. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring driver input to the wheel while allowing suspension travel and steering angle.
