Product Details

Delphi applies OE engineering experience to its aftermarket steering line, with parts validated through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray testing. That testing focus helps support durability in demanding steering environments. Delphi TA1945 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for the front right outer location on select Mercedes-Benz ML-Class vehicles, including 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML320, 1999-2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430, 2002-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500, 2000-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, and 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML350.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES80691 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front right outer linkage
• Clunking or play caused by wear in the tie rod end joint
• Uneven steering response from a worn steering connection
• Dust and contamination intrusion at the joint area
• Restoration of proper steering linkage geometry during service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA1945 at the front right outer steering position only on the listed Mercedes-Benz ML-Class applications. Verify thread direction, taper engagement, and alignment settings before returning the vehicle to service. Because mounting hardware is included and the unit is non-greaseable, confirm all fasteners are tightened to specification and schedule a wheel alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-based design validation and environmental testing intended to support consistent performance in aftermarket service. The dust boot helps protect the joint, while material and dimensional checks are used to improve compatibility with the original steering layout.
