Product Details

Delphi TA2309 is engineered as an outer tie rod end for steering systems that require accurate fit and consistent joint movement. Delphi applies OE-focused testing to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing, to evaluate durability in demanding road conditions. The part number TA2309 is a standard replacement choice for drivers servicing older Chrysler and Dodge steering systems, including applications such as 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger, 1970-1976 Dodge Dart, 1970-1978 Dodge Charger, 1977-1981 Chrysler LeBaron, and 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering wander from degraded front-end components
• Contamination-related joint wear when the dust boot is damaged

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, thread direction, and outer position before installation. TA2309 is a bent-style, non-adjustable tie rod end with male ends and a threaded stud, so matching the existing steering geometry is important. This part is listed for outer positions on select Chrysler and Dodge models, including 1979-1982 Chrysler New Yorker with 9/16in diameter rod, 1978-1981 Chrysler Town & Country with 9/16in threads, and 1976-1980 Dodge Aspen with 9/16in diameter rod. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore correct steering and tire wear settings.
