Detailed Description

Delphi TA2788 steering tie rod end is built for front outer steering service where precise linkage movement matters. Delphi applies OE safety technology and aftermarket engineering to this component, with testing that includes extreme temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That level of validation supports durability in demanding road and weather conditions on vehicles such as the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon.

This tie rod end uses a high strength steel housing, a steel tie rod, a coated black finish, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot. It is a straight, non-adjustable design with a threaded stud and standard replacement construction. The Delphi TA2788 also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800223 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle position before installation; this part is for the front outer steering location. Verify thread size, pitch, and direction against the removed component before assembly. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance
