Detailed Description

Delphi TA2402 is a steering tie rod end designed for inner steering applications on select Mitsubishi and Dodge trucks. It features a bent design, steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a coated gray finish. The part includes a dust boot made from chloroprene rubber (CR) and uses a threaded stud with clockwise thread direction on both ends. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to support proper OE-to-aftermarket compatibility, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to verify durability in demanding service environments. If you are replacing worn steering linkage components on a Mitsubishi Mighty Max or Dodge Ram 50, TA2402 provides a direct-fit service part for the inner position.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven or unstable steering response
• Wear-related front-end alignment issues
• Damaged or deteriorated inner tie rod components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm inner steering position before ordering and compare thread diameter, pitch, and overall dimensions to the removed part. TA2402 is non-adjustable and non-greaseable, so replacement is typically performed as a direct service part rather than a rebuildable component. After installation on a Mitsubishi Mighty Max or Dodge Ram 50, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and validation methods for its steering portfolio, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for temperature and corrosion exposure. That approach supports consistent fit and dependable service for the TA2402 inner tie rod end.
