Detailed Description

Delphi TA1254 is engineered for the outer steering linkage position and built to match OE-style dimensions for consistent installation and steering geometry. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt spray testing, to validate durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3602 for the same application.

Compatible with 1998 Nissan 200SX, outer, and 1998-1999 Nissan Sentra, outer. The Delphi TA1254 tie rod end is a practical choice when replacing worn steering linkage components on these Nissan models.

What It Helps Repair

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Front-end wandering or poor directional stability
• Clunking or play from worn outer steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
• Steering response issues from a damaged tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA1254 at the outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before installation, and inspect the mating steering components for wear. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore correct toe settings and steering wheel position.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio and validates parts through dimensional and material analysis for OE-level compatibility. The TA1254 is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure to support long-term service in steering applications.
