Detailed Description

This Delphi steering tie rod end is engineered for the inner position and built to match OE dimensional and material requirements. Delphi validates its steering components through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing, to support durability in demanding road conditions. The TA2256 uses a steel housing, steel tie rod, and POM bearing material, with clockwise thread direction on both ends and a 14.0 mm thread diameter.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV362 and Mevotech Supreme MEV362 for the same application. It is a direct-fit steering service part for Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Plymouth Voyager platform vehicles where an inner tie rod end is required.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven front tire wear caused by steering wear
• Failed steering inspection due to linkage looseness

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and inner position before installation. Inspect the steering rack, outer tie rod ends, and alignment settings at the same time, since wear in adjacent components can affect steering feel and toe settings. Because this part is adjustable, a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help match aftermarket steering parts to original equipment requirements. The TA2256 is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure to support consistent performance in service.
