Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering range. Every Delphi tie rod is put through demanding testing:
- Temperature and salt-spray tested: built to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
- Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Delphi fatigue tests its tie rods to help avoid failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part to help prevent corrosion and keep a clean appearance.
Delphi runs extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the original part and this replacement, and it includes the necessary accessories for the job. If you are searching for a Delphi track rod end, the British name for a tie rod end, this is the same part.
A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, extra play at the steering wheel or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
