Keep your steering tight and precise with the Delphi tie rod TA5897, an outer steering tie rod that connects the steering linkage to the wheel and transmits steering input into wheel movement. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII.

Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket part, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket unit:

  • Tested to the extreme: validated below -40°C and above 120°C and subjected to 720 hours of salt spray.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
  • Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for smooth joint operation.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Signs the tie rod may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, front-end play, or uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing. Sold individually; tie rods commonly install as a left/right pair, so consider replacing both sides for balanced steering.
