Detailed Description

Delphi TA2286 is engineered for outer steering applications where precise linkage movement and stable road feel matter. Delphi applies OE-focused testing and material validation to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to help ensure the part performs in demanding undercar conditions. The gray, coated steel construction, chloroprene rubber dust boot, and pre-greased joint support durable service in everyday steering use. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3011RL for the same application.

Compatible With 1992-2002 Dodge Viper, outer, and 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota, outer. Delphi TA2286 is a direct-fit outer tie rod end for these steering service applications and is commonly searched as a Dodge Viper outer tie rod end and Dodge Dakota outer tie rod end replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering response at the outer linkage
• Steering play caused by wear in the tie rod end joint
• Uneven tire wear related to worn steering components
• Noisy or rough steering movement from a deteriorated joint
• Contamination entering the joint through a damaged boot

Installation Notes

Install as an outer steering tie rod end on the listed Dodge applications. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and position before installation, and complete a professional alignment after replacement. Because this part is non-adjustable, correct fitment and alignment setup should be confirmed during service.
