Delphi TA1252 Steering Tie Rod End - Right

Delphi TA1252 Front Right Tie Rod End

Delphi TA1252 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front right position on select Ford Escort models. Built with a steel housing, coated finish, pre-greased construction, and a dust boot, it is intended to restore precise steering linkage function on 1991-1997 Ford Escort applications with female threads.

Key Features

• Front right steering tie rod end for select Ford Escort vehicles
• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting required
• Steel housing and steel tie rod construction
• Coated black finish for added surface protection
• Dust boot included with chloroprene rubber material
• Mounting hardware included
• Clockwise thread direction on both ends
• Standard replacement part number TA1252

Fitment Details

Fits 1991-1997 Ford Escort, right, with female threads. This application covers the front right steering position and matches the OE-style geometry needed for proper linkage alignment. Delphi TA1252 also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K90490 for the same application.

Product Description

Delphi TA1252 is engineered for steering systems that require a bent tie rod end with female end 2 threads and a threaded stud design. The part measures 75.0 mm from stud center to end, with a 16.15 mm cone outside diameter and 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help ensure OE-level fit between the original steering component and the aftermarket replacement. The part is pre-greased, non-adjustable, and uses a plastic bearing material with a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect internal components from contamination.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front right wheel
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering pull related to degraded front suspension geometry
• Inspection failure from excessive steering component movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 1991-1997 Ford Escort with the front right, female-threaded steering application before ordering. Compare thread direction, thread diameter, and stud dimensions to the removed part to verify match-up. After installation, have the front end inspected and aligned to restore correct steering geometry. Delphi TA1252 is a direct steering replacement for the listed application and should be installed according to factory service procedures.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and subjects parts to extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate corrosion resistance. This OE-focused validation supports consistent performance for the Ford Escort front right tie rod end application.
