Detailed Description

Delphi TA5029 inner tie rod end is engineered for steering systems that require accurate dimensional match and dependable material quality. Delphi applies OE-level analysis to aftermarket steering parts, including dimensional and material checks for compatibility, and subjects components to temperature extremes and extended salt-spray exposure testing. This helps support consistent fit and corrosion resistance in demanding driving conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV396 for the same application.

Compatible with Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Pathfinder Armada, and INFINITI QX4 inner steering applications, Delphi TA5029 is a direct replacement choice for restoring steering linkage integrity. The straight, adjustable design and clockwise thread directions support proper alignment during service, while the coated steel housing and POM bearing material add durability in the steering assembly.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or knocking from steering linkage wear
• Uneven toe settings caused by steering component wear
• Corrosion-related replacement needs in the steering system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle application by year, model, and inner position before installation. Because this part is adjustable, alignment should be checked and set after replacement. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the original component, especially on the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder Armada application with 13.66 in. length. Delphi TA5029 is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused testing and material analysis for its steering portfolio, including exposure to temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray testing. Delphi TA5029 is built as a standard replacement part for consistent fit and service life in the listed applications.
