Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions before installation. TA2243 is a non-adjustable inner tie rod end, so final alignment should be checked after replacement. Inspect the surrounding steering linkage, boots, and related hardware for wear before reassembly. This part includes a dust boot and mounting hardware as listed in the product data.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports OE-style durability for the Delphi TA2243 inner tie rod end on Mazda B2000, B2200, and B2600 applications.
