Detailed Description

Delphi TA2118 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for inner front steering positions. It uses a straight, adjustable layout with a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a pre-greased bearing assembly made from polyoxymethylene (POM). The part is built for direct replacement service where precise steering linkage geometry matters, including 1993-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage inner applications and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt inner applications. Delphi’s OE-based testing and dimensional analysis help support fit and function across the listed vehicles. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV297 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1993-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage, Inner
• Fits 1993-1995 Dodge Colt, Inner

What It Helps Repair

• Loose or worn steering linkage at the inner tie rod position
• Steering play or delayed steering response
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn front steering components
• Clunking or instability from degraded tie rod joints
• Alignment issues after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering position before ordering, since this part is listed for front inner applications only. Confirm thread diameter, thread pitch, and overall length against the removed component before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray evaluation. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to improve OE-to-aftermarket compatibility for the listed applications.
