Detailed Description

Delphi TA2827 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end engineered for OE-style fit and function in the left inner steering position. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility with the original steering geometry, while the steel housing, bent tube design, and chloroprene rubber dust boot support everyday road use. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1226 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a left inner tie rod end for a 1991-1994 Ford Explorer or 1992-1994 Mazda Navajo, TA2827 provides a direct replacement option with serviceable grease fitting access and pre-greased assembly. The part number TA2827 is also useful when matching steering components by OE reference and interchange data.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the inner tie rod
• Clunking or play from worn steering linkage components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Damaged dust boot or contaminated steering joint
• Replacement needs for left inner steering service on Explorer and Navajo models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left inner position, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation. Confirm alignment after replacement, since steering linkage service can affect toe settings. Inspect the mating steering components for wear before installing Delphi TA2827, and use the included grease fitting for future maintenance where applicable.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand also uses OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support fitment consistency between original and aftermarket steering parts.
