Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5389
$39.99

Keep steering tight and predictable with the Delphi tie rod Steering Tie Rod End (TA5389), the left outer joint that connects the steering linkage to the wheel and transmits your steering input to the road. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2009 Mercury Milan, and 2006 Lincoln Zephyr — a solid choice as a tie rod for Ford Fusion owners chasing loose, wandering steering.

  • OE-derived engineering: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, with extensive dimensional and material analysis to match the OE and aftermarket part.
  • Tested to the extreme: validated below -40 degrees C and over 120 degrees C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
  • Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, and each tie rod is fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics; the necessary accessories for the job are included.

Worn tie rod ends may show up as steering wander, uneven or feathered tire wear, or a clunk when turning — if the left outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Best practice is to have the alignment checked after installation.
