Detailed Description

Delphi TA2553 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for vehicles that require a right outer connection. The part uses a high strength steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help maintain steering integrity in demanding road conditions. It is pre-greased, greaseable, and supplied with a grease fitting, making it suitable for routine service intervals.

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to improve part-to-vehicle matching, and the component is tested across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions. This makes TA2553 a practical choice for Ford Explorer and Mazda Navajo owners looking for a direct steering replacement that follows original-style fitment and construction.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4702 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel at the right front wheel
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering response issues from damaged ball-and-socket joints
• Boot failure that can expose the joint to dirt and moisture

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, right outer. Fits 1992-1994 Mazda Navajo, right outer. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and steering linkage condition before installation. After replacement, perform a front-end alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear control. Delphi TA2553 should be installed on the specified right outer position only.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components through dimensional and material analysis and subjects parts to extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure testing to support OE-level performance expectations.
