Description

Tighten up loose, wandering steering on your compact with the Delphi tie rod end TA5491, an inner Steering Tie Rod End built on Delphi's OE safety technology. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2015 Smart Fortwo — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.

The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting driver input into wheel movement. When the joint wears, you may notice play in the steering, a wandering feel on the highway, uneven or feathered tire wear, or clunking when turning — all signs this inner tie rod end may need replacing.

OE-validated testing: Delphi tests 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.
Micron-tolerance ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
