Detailed Description

Delphi TA2178 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for Jeep steering systems that use a right inner configuration. The steel tie rod construction, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot are selected to support durable operation in everyday road and off-road use. Delphi applies OE dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit between the original part and the aftermarket replacement, which is important when servicing Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Comanche, TJ, and Wrangler steering components. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3095R for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Loose or vague steering feel at the right inner tie rod location
  • Excessive play in the steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering joints
  • Noise or movement from a deteriorated tie rod end
  • Loss of grease retention due to a damaged boot

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right inner position before installation and confirm thread direction and thread size match the original steering linkage. Inspect the adjacent steering components, alignment settings, and related joints for wear before returning the vehicle to service. After installation, a front-end alignment is recommended to restore proper steering geometry on Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Comanche, and TJ applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. TA2178 is built to support OE-style performance and fitment consistency for the listed Jeep applications.
