Detailed Description

Delphi TA1373 is built for steering systems that require a front inner tie rod end with precise thread and dimensional matching. The part features clockwise and counterclockwise thread directions, a threaded stud type, and a non-adjustable layout for direct replacement use.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread diameter, thread pitch, and front inner position before installation. This part uses a 14.0 mm end 1 thread diameter and a 16.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, so matching the steering linkage specification is important. Always inspect the surrounding steering components, align the front end after replacement, and confirm proper torque on all fasteners during service.
