Product Details

Delphi TA2269 is engineered for steering systems that require a tie rod end adjusting sleeve with OE-level dimensional and material consistency. Delphi applies OE-focused testing to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt spray testing, to help verify performance in demanding road conditions. This sleeve measures 126.0 mm (4.961 in) in length and uses a 22.0 mm fine thread diameter for proper adjustment on the specified right-side applications. It is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles such as the Ford F-150, Ford F-350, Ford Ranger, and Mazda B-series trucks, as well as select Jeep steering applications. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., ES2012S, ES2079S) for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part May Address

• Loose or inaccurate steering linkage adjustment
• Uneven front tire wear caused by incorrect toe settings
• Steering play related to worn adjusting sleeve hardware
• Corrosion or damage in the steering tie rod adjustment area
• Need for replacement during front-end alignment service
