Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA2851 at the front inner steering location on 2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer models. Inspect the outer tie rod ends, steering rack boots, and alignment settings during service. Because this part does not include a grease fitting or dust boot, verify the surrounding steering components before reassembly and complete a professional wheel alignment after installation.

Delphi validates steering components through dimensional and material analysis, along with environmental testing that includes sub-zero and high-temperature exposure and extended salt-spray resistance. That OE-focused testing supports consistent fit and durability for Mitsubishi Lancer steering repairs.
