Built for OE-Level Steering Fit

Delphi applies OE engineering methods to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and function. This TA2249 inner tie rod end is designed for vehicles such as the Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Chrysler Town & Country with power steering TRW design rack-and-pinion steering, as well as select Hyundai Scoupe and Mitsubishi Precis applications with an externally threaded rack. Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding conditions.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV128 and Mevotech Supreme MEV128 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the inner tie rod
• Clunking or knocking from worn steering linkage components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry issues
• Imprecise steering response in rack-and-pinion systems
• Failed or worn original inner tie rod end on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rack style, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation. This Delphi TA2249 uses a female-to-male threaded configuration with 14.0 mm end threads and is not adjustable. Because the dust boot and grease fitting are not included, inspect the surrounding steering rack components, boot condition, and alignment hardware during service. Professional alignment is recommended after steering linkage replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based dimensional and material checks to help ensure consistent aftermarket fitment. The part is exposed to temperature extremes and extended salt-spray testing during validation, supporting corrosion resistance and durability expectations for steering service.
