Detailed Description

Delphi TA2749 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the left outer side. It features a bent design, gray coated finish, steel housing, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help shield the joint from debris and moisture. The part uses a female end 1 and male end 2 configuration, with threaded connections sized for the listed applications. Delphi applies OE-level testing and material analysis to support fit and performance across demanding temperature and corrosion conditions.

This tie rod end is a direct-fit steering component for 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car, 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder, all in the left outer position.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Front-end wandering or poor directional stability
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Restoring proper alignment after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer fitment against the vehicle year, make, model, and steering configuration before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to confirm toe settings and steering wheel centering. Inspect the adjacent steering linkage, boots, and related suspension components for wear while the vehicle is apart.
