Detailed Description

Delphi TA2626 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front left outer position. It features a female end 1, male end 2, a threaded stud design, and a bent body style to match the steering geometry used in the listed applications. The unit uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, POM bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot material for durable everyday operation. Delphi tests its steering components across extreme temperatures and extended salt spray exposure to verify performance under harsh conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800054 and Beck/Arnley 101-5486 for the same application.
