Technical Details and Construction

The Delphi TA2526 tie rod end features a robust steel housing and tie rod material, providing structural integrity essential for steering components. The coated finish enhances corrosion resistance, while the pre-greased bearing with plastic material reduces friction and wear. The dust boot, made from chloroprene rubber, offers effective sealing against dirt and moisture, extending the part's service life. This tie rod end is non-adjustable and does not include a grease fitting, designed for maintenance-free operation once installed.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This steering tie rod end is compatible with various vehicle makes and models requiring a 12.0 mm (end 1) and 14.0 mm (end 2) thread diameter with respective clockwise and counterclockwise thread directions. It is suitable for applications where a straight type tie rod end with a 37.0 mm width and 66.5 mm height is specified. The Delphi TA2526 is commonly used in steering systems to maintain precise wheel alignment and responsive steering control.

• Corrects steering play and looseness
• Replaces worn or damaged tie rod ends
• Eliminates uneven tire wear caused by misalignment
• Restores proper steering response and handling
• Prevents noise and vibration from faulty steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TA2526 tie rod end requires proper tools to match the thread sizes: 12.0 mm for end 1 (clockwise) and 14.0 mm for end 2 (counterclockwise). The included mounting hardware simplifies the replacement process. Since the part is pre-greased and non-greaseable, no additional lubrication is necessary during installation. Ensure the dust boot is properly seated to maintain protection against contaminants. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to ensure optimal steering performance.
