Refresh your steering with the Delphi tie rod end (MPN TA2179), an inner steering tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota. This inner joint links the steering gear to the outer tie rod so wheel and driver inputs translate into precise, controlled turns.
Backed by Delphi's OE steering expertise, it's built for durable, quiet joint operation:
- OE-grade validation: tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C, plus 720 hours of salt-spray exposure — with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Precision ball stud: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth movement.
- Fatigue tested: each tie rod is fatigue tested to help guard against failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. If a worn inner tie rod end is behind loose steering, a clunk, or uneven tire wear on your Dodge Dakota, this is the replacement part — diagnose the cause first, since these signs can have other sources. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
