It is listed for 1986-1994 Nissan D21 inner steering service, 1987-1992 Nissan Pathfinder inner steering service, and 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup inner steering service with OE steering damper. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-level part compatibility, and the component is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding conditions. If you are servicing a Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, or Nissan Pathfinder steering system, TA1617 provides a direct replacement option for the specified inner position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3051L and Beck\/Arnley 101-4161 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or imprecise steering feel from worn inner tie rod components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering play caused by joint wear in the front linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven steering response during lane changes or turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or vibration from deteriorated steering joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust and contamination intrusion at the steering joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify front inner position before installation and confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original part. TA1617 is not adjustable, so alignment should be checked after replacement. Because this application includes Nissan Pickup, D21, and Pathfinder fitments, confirm the vehicle year and steering configuration before service. Delphi TA1617 is pre-greased and includes a dust boot, which helps streamline installation on the specified front inner steering location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphi backs this steering component with OE-focused engineering practices, including dimensional and material validation, temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt-spray exposure testing. These checks support consistent fit and durability for Nissan Pickup, Nissan D21, and Nissan Pathfinder steering repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delphi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43388707340469,"sku":"BBMX-TA1617","price":25.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DE_TA1617_Fro.jpg?v=1774723803","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/delphi-ta1617-steering-tie-rod-end","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
