Detailed Description

Delphi TA2049 is engineered for front inner steering service where precise linkage geometry matters. It features a straight, adjustable design with a 14.0 mm end 1 thread diameter and 16.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, plus a 1.5 mm thread pitch on end 2. The bearing material is polyoxymethylene (POM), and the assembly is pre-greased for immediate use in steering repairs.

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain fit and function across aftermarket steering applications. The part is built to withstand demanding temperature and corrosion exposure during validation, supporting consistent performance in everyday driving conditions. This Delphi TA2049 tie rod end is a direct service part for Volvo C30, Volvo C70, Volvo S40, and Volvo V50 front inner steering applications.
