Delphi TA2222 Left Inner Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2222 is a steering tie rod end built for the left inner position on select Ford trucks and SUVs. It is a standard replacement part with a bent design, pre-greased construction, and a grease fitting for serviceable steering maintenance.

Key Features

  • Fits the left inner steering position
  • Pre-greased with grease fitting included
  • Dust boot included for joint protection
  • High-strength steel housing with coated finish
  • Steel tie rod construction with threaded stud design
  • Standard replacement part for OE-style service
  • Compatible with 1984-1987 Ford Bronco II and 1983-1987 Ford Ranger, left inner

Product Details

Delphi TA2222 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the left inner location, with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and function. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt spray testing, to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It is a direct service option for Ford Ranger and Ford Bronco II steering repair work where the inner tie rod end requires replacement.

Common Repair Applications

  • Loose or worn steering feel at the left inner tie rod
  • Steering play or wandering during highway driving
  • Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
  • Corrosion or boot damage at the inner tie rod joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and position before installation. Delphi TA2222 uses clockwise thread direction on both ends, with a 20.0 mm end 1 thread diameter and 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter. After installation, the steering system should be inspected and aligned to confirm proper toe setting and steering response. For Ford Bronco II and Ford Ranger applications, confirm the left inner location matches the removed part before service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio. TA2222 is tested for temperature extremes, corrosion resistance, and dimensional consistency to support reliable replacement performance in service.
