Detailed Description

Delphi TA2140 is engineered as an inner tie rod end for steering systems that require precise fit and dependable articulation. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help match aftermarket fitment to original equipment requirements, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to verify durability in demanding service environments. This makes it a practical replacement for Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis steering repairs where worn inner tie rod components can affect alignment and steering feel.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3494 and Mevotech Supreme MES3494 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
  • Clunking or looseness in the steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
  • Imprecise steering response during lane changes or turns
  • Grease loss or contamination at the steering joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inner tie rod length, thread direction, and end dimensions before installation. This Delphi TA2140 tie rod end uses a straight, non-adjustable design with male threaded ends and is intended for inner steering positions only. After installation, perform a professional alignment and inspect related steering components for wear.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-oriented engineering and validation. The part is built to withstand temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during testing to support corrosion resistance and long-term service performance.
