Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1145
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End (TA5217), a direct-fit outer tie rod end for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. This outer joint connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel — when it wears, you may notice loose or vague steering, a clunk or knock when turning, wandering, or uneven tire wear.
Delphi builds on its OE steering expertise for the aftermarket:
If a worn outer tie rod end is behind your steering symptoms, this replaces it. Have the vehicle aligned after installation.
