Product Details

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio so the replacement part matches the original application as closely as possible. This tie rod end is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding steering service. For shoppers searching for a front outer tie rod end for a 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, 1988-1993 Ford Festiva, 1986-1989 Mazda 323, or 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer, TA1563 is the direct reference to verify.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES2827RL and Dorman - OE Solutions 534-426 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension during turns
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Excess play at the outer tie rod connection
• Steering alignment that will not hold after service

Installation Notes

Install at the front outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, end gender, and vehicle application before installation. A dust boot and mounting hardware are included, and the part is non-greaseable, so no grease fitting is provided. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused testing and dimensional checks to support fit and function in aftermarket steering parts. The component is exposed to severe temperature and corrosion testing during development to help confirm durability in service.
