Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1289
Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod end TA5438, an outer steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and lets you set toe alignment during installation. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn signs this outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — have the alignment set afterward.
