Detailed Description

Delphi TA2509 is built for steering systems that require a right outer tie rod end with OE-style dimensional accuracy. The component uses a female end, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a threaded stud type for proper steering linkage connection. Key dimensions include a 19.0 mm cone outside diameter, 16.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, 12.0 mm end 1 thread diameter, and an 8.11 in stud-center-to-end length. The dust boot is made from chloroprene rubber (CR), and the bearing material is plastic.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800671 for the same application. It is a strong match for drivers searching for a right outer tie rod end for Audi A4 Quattro, Audi Q5, or Audi S4 steering repair work.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the right outer position before installation and verify thread direction, thread diameter, and stud dimensions against the removed part. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. Inspect the mating steering components, dust boot condition, and fasteners during service to help prevent repeat wear.

Quality Assurance
