Delphi TA2252 Inner Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2252 is a straight inner steering tie rod end built as a standard replacement for select Ford and Mercury applications. It is engineered with high-strength steel housing, a steel tie rod, and coated finish details to support steering linkage service on vehicles such as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique.

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper part-to-part compatibility, and this steering component is tested across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions for aftermarket use.

  • Inner steering tie rod end for select Ford and Mercury vehicles
  • Straight design with male threaded ends
  • High-strength steel housing and steel tie rod construction
  • Coated finish for added surface protection
  • Mounting hardware included
  • Standard replacement part number TA2252
  • Cross-reference: MOOG Chassis Products EV319

Vehicle Fitment

  • Fits 1995-2000 Ford Contour, inner, with 15in wheels.
  • Fits 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique, inner, with 15in wheels.
  • Fits 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, inner, without 14in wheels.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Loose or wandering steering feel from worn inner tie rod joints
  • Excessive play in the steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
  • Clunking or knocking from worn steering components
  • Steering response that no longer tracks accurately

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s wheel size and position before ordering, since fitment varies by application notes. This inner tie rod end uses clockwise thread direction on both ends and 14 mm / 16 mm thread diameters, so matching the existing steering linkage specifications is important during installation. A professional alignment is recommended after steering linkage service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components for extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray resistance, and uses OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper aftermarket fit and performance. Part number TA2252 is built to Delphi’s standard replacement specifications for the listed applications.
