Detailed Description

Delphi TA2420 is engineered as a standard replacement inner steering tie rod end for 1991-1996 Dodge Dakota models. The design uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a polyoxymethylene bearing material to support steering linkage movement while maintaining dimensional consistency. Delphi applies OE-based dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper part-to-part compatibility, and the component is tested across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions during development. If you are replacing a worn inner tie rod end on a Dodge Dakota, TA2420 provides a direct-service solution for steering repair work.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MEV252 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play in the inner tie rod area
• Clunking or looseness from worn steering linkage components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Loose or imprecise steering response on Dodge Dakota trucks
• Corrosion-related wear on the original inner tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inner steering position before installation and confirm thread direction and diameter match the existing linkage. Because this is an adjustable steering component, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after installation. Inspect related steering parts such as outer tie rod ends and boots during service to avoid repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering, dimensional analysis, and environmental testing to support fit and durability in aftermarket steering components. The TA2420 is exposed in testing to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray conditions to evaluate corrosion resistance and long-term performance.
