Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA6401
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the DELPHI tie rod end TA5889, an outer Steering Tie Rod End that connects the steering linkage to the knuckle so wheel movement follows the steering input. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1987 Lincoln Continental and 1984-1992 Lincoln Mark VII.
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket unit, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. Highlights include:
Worn tie rod ends can show up as play in the steering, a knock when turning, or uneven tire wear; if a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually.
