Delphi TA2798 Steering Tie Rod End - Outer

Delphi TA2798 Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2798 is an outer steering tie rod end built for direct replacement on select Ram and Dodge Ram trucks. It combines OE-based dimensional analysis with corrosion and temperature testing to support steering precision in demanding service conditions.

Key Features

• Outer steering tie rod end for steering linkage service
• Pre-greased with a grease fitting included for serviceability
• Dust boot included to help protect the joint from contamination
• Steel housing and steel tie rod construction with a coated finish
• Straight design with threaded stud connection
• Clockwise thread direction on both ends
• Standard replacement grade, non-adjustable
• Mounting hardware included

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2798 is engineered as an OE-style steering tie rod end for the outer position. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to match the original part as closely as possible, helping maintain proper steering geometry and fit on applications such as 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 8 Lug Wheels, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, and 2011-2013 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3538 for the same application.

Built with a steel housing, steel tie rod, and chloroprene rubber dust boot, TA2798 is designed for durability in steering service. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing to evaluate corrosion resistance and long-term performance. If you are replacing a worn outer tie rod end on a Dodge Ram 2500, Ram 3500, or Ram 1500 with 8-lug wheels, Delphi TA2798 provides a direct-fit service part for the listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or play in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering joints
• Steering response issues from a damaged outer tie rod end
• Contamination-related wear at the steering joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and position before installation. This part is listed for the outer steering position only. Because both ends use clockwise thread direction and the end thread sizes differ, confirm the existing steering linkage configuration before service. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore proper toe settings and steering response.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and validation for its steering portfolio, including dimensional checks, material analysis, temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt-spray exposure testing. Part number TA2798 is built to support consistent fit and service performance in the listed Ram and Dodge Ram applications.
