Detailed Description

The Delphi TA2651 steering tie rod end is built for front inner steering service where precise linkage geometry matters. It fits 1995-1997 Mazda Protege, inner, and 1995-1996 Mazda MX-3, inner. For buyers searching for a Mazda Protege inner tie rod end or a Mazda MX-3 steering tie rod end, TA2651 provides a direct replacement option backed by Delphi’s OE engineering approach. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 532-713 for the same application.
