Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5269
Delphi TA6488 tie rod end for the 2017-2022 GMC Acadia and other vehicles is an inner ball-and-socket joint in the steering linkage that passes steering input along to the wheel. The steering tie rod end moves with the suspension, so its ball stud and socket wear with use.
A worn one can show up as loose or vague steering, a knock when turning or uneven tire wear. Before you replace it, rule out worn control arm bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings and alignment, since they can also loosen the steering or wear tires unevenly.
It fits the 2017-2022 GMC Acadia and the 2017-2022 Cadillac XT5. Two go on each of them, and changing them as a pair is normal.
