Delphi TA2772 Steering Tie Rod End - Inner (At Connecting Rod)

OE-Style Inner Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2772 is a steering tie rod end for the inner position at the connecting rod on select Ford Super Duty applications. It is built as a standard replacement with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper steering linkage compatibility on the Ford Excursion, Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Ford F-350 Super Duty.

Delphi applies OE safety and performance testing to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to help the part hold up in demanding road conditions. The TA2772 is pre-greased, greaseable, and supplied with a dust boot and mounting hardware.

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2772 is an inner steering tie rod end engineered for Ford Excursion and Ford Super Duty steering systems that use the connecting rod inner position. The bent, steel-bodied design features a coated finish, plastic bearing material, and a threaded stud layout with opposite thread directions for proper steering linkage installation. Delphi’s OE-level dimensional and material analysis helps support accurate fitment between the original and replacement part, making this a direct-service steering component for worn linkage service on the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1438 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play caused by wear in the inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage looseness
• Service replacement for damaged dust boot or greaseable joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inner connecting rod position before ordering and match the thread direction, thread diameter, and stud style to the original component. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment and inspect adjacent steering components for wear. Because this part is greaseable and includes a grease fitting, service lubrication should be maintained according to the vehicle’s maintenance schedule.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components for extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray resistance, and uses OE-based dimensional and material analysis to support consistent replacement quality. The TA2772 is built as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the listed Ford applications.
