Detailed Description

Delphi TA2472 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end engineered for front inner use. It features a 16.0 mm thread diameter on end 1, a 14.0 mm thread diameter on end 2, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a 1.5 mm thread pitch on end 2. The unit measures 225.0 mm from stud center to end and uses a steel housing with polyoxymethylene (POM) bearing material for consistent steering linkage operation.
