Detailed Description

Delphi TA2174 is engineered for steering systems that require a straight, non-adjustable left inner tie rod end. It is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot to support dependable steering linkage performance. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, and uses dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-style compatibility. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3364T and ES3365T for the same application.

Compatible With 1997-2003 Ford F-150, left inner; 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, left inner; 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, left inner; 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator, left inner; 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, left inner; and 1997-1999 Ford F-250, left inner. Use Delphi TA2174 when replacing a worn left inner tie rod end on these Ford F-150 and Expedition steering systems.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Imprecise steering wheel response
• Loose inner tie rod movement at the steering rack connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left inner position, thread direction, and thread diameters before installation. Inspect related steering components, including outer tie rod ends and alignment settings, whenever the inner tie rod is replaced. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after steering linkage service to restore proper tracking and tire wear.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio. TA2174 is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to help confirm durability, and its design is based on dimensional and material analysis for OE-style fit and function.
