Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE engineering standards to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and TA2231 reflects that approach with dimensional and material analysis aimed at matching original equipment requirements. This steering tie rod end uses a steel housing, steel tie rod, pre-greased internals, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to support consistent steering linkage operation. The bent, non-adjustable design is specified for the left outer position on the listed Dodge B100, B200, and B300 vehicles. Delphi TA2231 is a direct-fit steering service part for 1976-1978 Dodge B-series vans where the application calls for the listed thread direction and dimensions.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES2075R and MOOG Chassis Products ES2076L for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before installation: TA2231 is listed for the left outer steering location on the applicable Dodge B-series models. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the removed part before assembly. After installation, a professional front-end alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt-spray evaluation. That OE-focused validation, along with dimensional and material checks, supports consistent fitment for the listed Dodge B100, B200, and B300 applications.
