Detailed Description

Delphi TA2181 is an inner steering tie rod end designed for Chrysler and Dodge steering systems that require a straight, standard replacement component. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper part matching, and its steering portfolio is validated through temperature and corrosion testing that reflects real-world service conditions. The TA2181 is a practical replacement choice for 1993-1997 Chrysler Concorde, 1993-1997 Chrysler Intrepid, 1994-1997 Chrysler LHS, 1993-1997 Dodge Intrepid, and 1994-1996 Chrysler New Yorker inner steering service.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the steering system
• Alignment instability after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and position before installation. This inner tie rod end uses a counterclockwise thread on end 1 and is not adjustable, so final alignment should be checked after replacement. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and steering position before service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE safety technology and applies OE-focused engineering to its aftermarket steering parts. The TA2181 is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate corrosion resistance and durability.
