Built for Steering Precision

Delphi TA1197 is engineered for front inner steering service where accurate linkage movement matters. The part is pre-greased and includes a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect internal components, while the coated steel construction supports durability in demanding undercar conditions. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses dimensional and material analysis to align aftermarket fit with OE requirements. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES2245R and Mevotech Supreme MES2245R for the same application. Delphi TA1197 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for front inner service on the listed Mitsubishi and Dodge platforms.

Installation Notes

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the removed part before installation. Because this is a non-adjustable tie rod end, final alignment should be checked after service to confirm steering wheel center and toe settings. For the exact position on your vehicle, refer to the application tab and service information.
