Built for OE Fit and Steering Control
Delphi TA2226 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the right inner position. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help match the original part’s fit and function, while its steering components are tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1161 for the same application.
Vehicle Fitment

What This Part Helps Address

- Excessive play caused by worn steering linkage joints
- Clunking or knocking from a deteriorated tie rod end
- Uneven steering response from a damaged or corroded joint
- Boot failure that can expose the joint to contamination
Installation Notes
Verify the right inner steering position before installation and confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original part. TA2226 is pre-greased and includes a grease fitting and dust boot, which supports serviceability after installation. Because this is a non-adjustable steering tie rod end, alignment should be checked after replacement.
Quality Assurance
Delphi uses OE safety technology and applies OE-level engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio. This part is evaluated for temperature extremes and salt-spray resistance, and its dimensional and material analysis is used to support proper OE-to-aftermarket compatibility for the listed Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Mazda B2300, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, Mazda Navajo, and Ford Bronco II applications.
