Verify the left outer position, thread size, and length before installation. This Delphi TA2531 tie rod end uses a straight design with 7/8 in. x 18 threads on one end and 5/8 in. x 18 threads on the other, so matching the original steering linkage dimensions is important. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to set toe and steering wheel position correctly.
