Detailed Description

The Delphi TA2508 steering tie rod end is built for the left outer steering position and is designed to restore precise steering linkage performance on select Audi vehicles. This part number TA2508 features a steel housing, plastic bearing material, chloroprene rubber dust boot, and a pre-greased, non-greaseable construction for low-maintenance service. The bent profile, 19.0 mm cone outside diameter, 16.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, and 12.0 mm end 1 thread diameter support OE-style replacement needs on Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A4 allroad, Q5, RS5, S4, A5, A5 Quattro, and S5 models.
