Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA3256
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA5889, an outer tie rod end that links the steering system to the wheel and transmits your steering input to the front knuckle. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1987 Lincoln Continental and the 1984-1992 Lincoln Mark VII — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Signs an outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, a clunk or knock when turning, and play felt at the joint. Because a worn tie rod end can share symptoms with other steering and suspension parts, diagnose the cause before replacing. Replace outer tie rod ends in pairs for balanced steering feel when wear is present.
