Technical Details and Construction

The Delphi TA2164 tie rod end is built with a high strength steel housing and steel bearing material to ensure durability under typical driving conditions. The coated finish helps resist corrosion, extending the service life of the component. Both ends have male threaded studs with different diameters and thread pitches (End 1: 1.0 inch diameter, 16 threads per inch; End 2: 0.625 inch diameter, 18 threads per inch), each with a clockwise thread direction. The included thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) dust boot protects the joint from dirt and moisture, while the grease fitting allows for easy lubrication, maintaining smooth operation over time.

This steering tie rod end is suitable for vehicles requiring a standard replacement part in the left outer or right outer steering positions. While specific make and model fitments vary, the Delphi TA2164 is commonly used in applications where a straight, non-adjustable tie rod end with these specifications is required. It is important to verify compatibility with your vehicle’s steering system before installation.
