Keep your steering tight and precise with the Delphi tie rod, an inner Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA1635) that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-1998 and 2000-2002 Volkswagen Golf and the 1994-1999 Volkswagen Jetta. This is the inner joint that links the steering rack to the tie rod, transferring steering input to the wheels and helping keep toe alignment accurate. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause of loose or wandering steering, play in the linkage, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
