Detailed Description

Delphi TA2673 is a bent-style steering tie rod end with female-to-male end configuration, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a threaded stud type. It uses a steel tie rod and housing, POM bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot material for a serviceable OE-style steering repair. The part number TA2673 is also referenced in aftermarket steering catalogs for the same application.

Delphi validates steering components through temperature and corrosion exposure testing, including sub-zero and high-heat conditions plus extended salt-spray exposure. That testing approach supports dimensional accuracy and material compatibility for Mazda 2 steering service work. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800942 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front left outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional stability
• Damaged dust boot or contaminated joint movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, end dimensions, and front left outer placement before installation. After replacing the tie rod end, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. Confirm fitment for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Mazda 2 models before service.
