Detailed Description

Delphi TA2267 is engineered as an outer tie rod end for steering systems that require a direct-fit replacement. The part features a high-strength steel housing, steel tie rod construction, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect internal components. It is pre-greased, greaseable, and supplied with a grease fitting, supporting routine steering service on vehicles that rely on precise front-end alignment and stable steering response. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help match the original part’s fit and construction, making this a practical choice for restoring steering linkage performance on the Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3495 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn outer tie rod end with looseness in the steering linkage
• Addressing steering play or wandering at the front end
• Correcting uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Restoring proper alignment response after suspension or steering service
• Servicing clunking or knocking noises from the outer steering linkage
