Detailed Description

Delphi TA1817 is a steering tie rod end for the outer steering position on 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect models. It is engineered as a standard replacement part with a female-to-male threaded configuration, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a 10.0 mm end 2 thread diameter for proper steering linkage service. The steel tie rod body, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot are selected for everyday road use, while the coated black finish helps resist corrosion exposure.

Delphi applies OE dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and this part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to reflect demanding under-vehicle conditions. If you are replacing a worn outer tie rod end on a Ford Transit Connect, Delphi TA1817 provides a direct-service solution for restoring steering linkage integrity. This part number is also listed as TA1817 for easy lookup during ordering and catalog matching.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front end
• Clunking or knocking from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage play
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional stability
• Corrosion-related wear in the outer steering joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the outer steering position and confirm thread size, pitch, and direction before installation. After replacement, have the front-end alignment checked to restore proper toe settings and steering response. Inspect the adjacent steering components for wear at the same time, especially if the original joint showed looseness or boot damage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this steering tie rod end using OE-focused engineering practices and durability testing that includes extreme temperature cycling and extended salt-spray exposure. The TA1817 is a standard replacement part designed for consistent fitment on the listed Ford Transit Connect applications.
