Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod — this Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA972) is a direct-fit left outer replacement for the 1999-2002 Daewoo Lanos and 1988-1993 Pontiac LeMans. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring your steering input to the wheel while allowing the joint to pivot with suspension travel.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Signs the original tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering when turning. Replacing a worn joint helps restore proper steering response if the tie rod end is the cause.
