Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA3050 steering tie rod end is engineered with a steel housing and tube, providing strength and durability required for steering components. Its coated black finish helps resist corrosion, extending the service life of the part. Both ends have male threads with a 16.0 mm diameter on end 1 and 14.0 mm on end 2, both with a 1.5 thread pitch and clockwise direction, allowing for precise adjustment and fitment. The tie rod is pre-greased, eliminating the need for immediate maintenance after installation, although it does not include a grease fitting or dust boot. The bearing is constructed from Polyoxymethylen (POM), a material known for its low friction and wear resistance, contributing to smooth steering operation. This part is adjustable and comes with mounting hardware, making it suitable for front inner and right inner positions on compatible Saab and Subaru vehicles.
