Detailed Description

Delphi TA1540 is engineered as an OE-style steering tie rod end for the front outer position. It features a straight design, steel housing, plastic bearing material, and clockwise thread direction on both ends. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-to-aftermarket compatibility, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions to verify durability in demanding steering environments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3002R and Mevotech Supreme MES3002R for the same application. For Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, and Nissan Pathfinder steering repair work, Delphi TA1540 provides a direct replacement option for worn outer tie rod service.
