Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5005
$42.99

Help address loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod, an inner steering tie rod end (P/N TA5005) backed by Delphi's OE expertise. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer.

Working on the inner side of the steering linkage, this joint transmits steering input from the rack to the outer tie rod while its ball stud pivots to allow steering and suspension movement. A worn joint develops play that can show up as loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear.

  • OE-level testing: validated below -40°C, above 120°C, and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE compatibility.
  • Micron-tolerance ball stud: machined for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested to guard against joint failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
  • Includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.

A smart pick when your 2011-2012 Ford Explorer tie rods are worn and steering feels vague.
