Detailed Description

Delphi TA2047 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 models from 2001 through 2004 in the left outer position. It is built to support accurate steering linkage operation and consistent alignment geometry, making it a practical choice when replacing worn front steering components. The Delphi TA2047 also cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-5059 and Dorman - Premium TO45041PR for the same application.

Delphi validates its steering components with OE-level dimensional and material analysis, helping ensure the replacement part matches the original design requirements. The part is also tested for harsh conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure, along with extended salt-spray resistance to evaluate durability in real-world environments.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front left outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering wheel off-center after suspension or steering wear develops
• Restoring proper front-end steering response on Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2047 on the front left outer steering position only when that matches your vehicle application. After installation, have the front end inspected and the alignment checked, since tie rod end replacement can affect toe settings and steering wheel centering. Confirm the dust boot is seated correctly and verify all fasteners are tightened to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional verification, and material analysis to support fit and function. This steering tie rod end is also subjected to temperature and corrosion testing to evaluate performance under demanding conditions.
