Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA2580
Chase down loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod that carries Delphi's OE safety technology into the aftermarket — the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA1972. This inner tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Mazda 6 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list). As a link between the steering rack and the outer joint, it transmits steering input to the wheel while allowing the suspension to move; a worn joint can show up as play in the steering, a knocking sensation, uneven tire wear, or vague on-center feel.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
