Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5098
Keep steering input moving cleanly from the rack to the front wheels with the Delphi Inner Steering Tie Rod End TA1746. This inner tie rod end is a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Geo Metro, 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly, and 1989-1997 Suzuki Swift — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. It carries Delphi's OE steering expertise into the aftermarket, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
As a pivoting joint in the steering linkage, a worn inner tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have your alignment checked after installation.
