Detailed Description

Delphi TA2462 is designed for steering systems that require a straight, adjustable inner tie rod end with OE-style dimensional accuracy. The part features an 18.0 mm thread diameter on end 1 and a 16.0 mm thread diameter on end 2, with a 1.5 mm thread pitch on end 2. Its steel construction and polyoxymethylene bearing material support consistent steering linkage operation in demanding road conditions.

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-level fit and function.
