Delphi TA2294 Steering Tie Rod End - Left Outer

Delphi TA2294 Left Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2294 is a steering tie rod end built for the left outer position on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. It combines OE-based dimensional analysis with a coated high-strength steel housing, pre-greased construction, and a dust boot to support precise steering response.

Key Features

• Fits the left outer steering position
• Pre-greased with grease fitting included for serviceability
• Dust boot included to help protect internal components
• High-strength steel housing with coated finish
• Bent tie rod design for application-specific steering geometry
• Threaded stud design with mounting hardware included
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper part matching

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2294 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end engineered for vehicles that require a left outer front steering connection. It uses a steel tie rod body, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot, with clockwise thread direction on both ends and a 12.0 mm end 2 thread diameter. The part is pre-greased and greaseable, making it suitable for routine steering service where long-term joint protection matters. Delphi validates its steering components through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing to evaluate corrosion resistance. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES80361 and Mevotech Supreme MES80361 for the same application. Fits 1996-2006 Chrysler Sebring, Left Outer; fits 1995-2006 Dodge Stratus, Left Outer; fits 1995-2000 Chrysler Cirrus, Left Outer; fits 1996-2000 Plymouth Breeze, Left Outer. Delphi TA2294 is a direct-fit option for Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Cirrus, and Plymouth Breeze steering repairs where the left outer tie rod end is worn or loose.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores steering feel when the outer tie rod joint has play
• Addresses front-end looseness or wandering during driving
• Helps correct clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Supports proper toe control after steering component wear
• Replaces a damaged dust boot or corroded tie rod end assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer position, thread direction, and thread sizes before installation. After replacement, perform a front-end alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear control. Inspect the mating steering components for wear so the new tie rod end is not installed against a damaged linkage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and durability testing to its steering portfolio, including extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray corrosion evaluation. The TA2294 is built as a standard replacement part with OE-style dimensional and material analysis for application matching.
