Detailed Description

Delphi TA1208 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the right inner position on 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera models. The part uses OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper steering geometry and reliable fitment. Delphi also subjects its steering components to temperature and salt-spray testing to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. The black coated steel housing, steel tie rod, and chloroprene rubber dust boot are paired with a pre-greased, sealed design to support long-term service in the steering linkage. If you are replacing a worn Cadillac Catera right inner tie rod end, Delphi TA1208 provides a direct-fit service part for this application.
