Product Details

Delphi TA1206 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the left inner position on 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera applications. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering system. The part is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot, and it arrives pre-greased for service-ready installation. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES80558 and MOOG Chassis Products ES80558 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address

  • Excessive play in the steering linkage
  • Loose or wandering steering feel
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn inner tie rod components
  • Clunking or knocking from the steering system
  • Failed dust boot protection around the joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left inner placement before installation and confirm thread direction and thread diameter against the original component. Because this is a non-adjustable tie rod end, final alignment should be checked after installation. Inspect the surrounding steering components for wear before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray testing. That testing approach supports OE-style durability for Cadillac Catera steering repairs and replacement service.
