Detailed Description
Delphi TA2171 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the right inner steering position on Dodge D50, Dodge Ram 50, and Mitsubishi Mighty Max applications. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and consistent steering geometry, while the coated housing and chloroprene rubber dust boot help protect the joint from road contamination. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES2199R for the same application.
Common Steering Issues It Can Address
- Excessive steering play or looseness at the right inner tie rod
- Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
- Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
- Imprecise steering response or wandering
- Boot damage that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the vehicle’s steering layout and right inner position before installation. The TA2171 uses a female end 1 with counterclockwise thread direction and a male end 2 with clockwise thread direction, so thread orientation should be matched carefully during service. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore correct toe settings and steering feel.
Quality Assurance
Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports OE-style durability for daily driving and long-term service on compatible Dodge and Mitsubishi trucks.
