Detailed Description

Delphi TA2816 is engineered as an OE-style outer tie rod end for steering systems that require precise geometry and dependable articulation. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt spray testing, to help validate performance in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3459 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for vehicles such as Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick LaCrosse, and Pontiac Grand Prix, and it also serves other listed GM models across the 1997-2016 model years.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or play in the outer steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Steering response that feels delayed or inconsistent
• Corrosion-related wear in exposed suspension and steering parts
