OE-Style Construction And Fit

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, helping the TA1172 match the intended fit and function of the original part. The tie rod end uses a steel tie rod, Polyoxymethilen (POM) bearing material, and Chloroprene Rubber (CR) dust boot material for a durable service design. It is a non-adjustable, non-greaseable outer tie rod end with clockwise thread direction on both ends and a 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES2144R and MOOG Chassis Products ES2144R for the same application. Delphi TA1172 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for 1981-1987 Isuzu Pickup, outer; 1984-1986 Isuzu Trooper, outer; and 1979-1982 Chevrolet LUV, outer.

What This Tie Rod End Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn steering tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering response issues from damaged ball-and-socket components
• Boot failure that can expose the joint to contamination

Installation Notes And Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and outer position before installation. Because this is a straight, non-adjustable tie rod end, alignment should be checked after replacement to confirm steering geometry and toe settings. Inspect the mating steering components for wear before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports consistent performance for the Delphi TA1172 in everyday steering service.
