Detailed Description

Delphi TA2342 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end engineered for OE-style fit and steering precision. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to match the original part as closely as possible, helping maintain proper steering geometry on vehicles such as the Suzuki Grand Vitara, Chevrolet Tracker, Suzuki Vitara, and Suzuki XL-7. The unit is pre-greased, includes a dust boot, and uses a steel housing with a coated finish for dependable service in demanding conditions.
