OE-Style Steering Fit and Construction

Delphi TA2461 is engineered for steering systems that demand accurate geometry and consistent joint movement. The female-to-male, straight tie rod end uses a threaded stud design, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter with a 16.0 mm end 1 thread diameter. The housing is steel, the tie rod material is steel, and the bearing material is polyoxymethylene (POM) for controlled articulation. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray testing, to validate durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800419 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s position, model year, and drivetrain before ordering, especially on 2019 Sprinter applications with all wheel drive. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original part before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.
