Detailed Description

Delphi TA2926 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front inner steering linkage. The straight, adjustable design uses male threaded ends with 14.0 mm thread diameter and 1.5 thread pitch on the end 2 side, along with a 12.677-inch stud-center-to-end length. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper part-to-part compatibility, and the component is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding steering environments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV800366 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play at the front inner linkage
• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Clunking or knocking from the steering system
• Restoring alignment stability after tie rod wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inner tie rod thread size and vehicle application before installation. This part is listed for 2008-2011 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner with 16mm threads at the inner position. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to set steering geometry correctly and help protect tire life.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis for its steering portfolio. The part is exposed to extreme temperature testing and extended salt-spray testing to evaluate durability in corrosion-prone conditions.
