Detailed Description

This Delphi steering tie rod end is built as a standard replacement outer component for steering systems that require accurate linkage movement and stable road feel. The TA5067 features a straight layout, black coated finish, steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot for added protection at the joint. It is pre-greased, non-greaseable, and uses a threaded stud with clockwise thread direction on both ends. Delphi validates its aftermarket steering parts with extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing, then applies OE-style dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility with the original steering geometry.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel from a worn outer tie rod end
• Clunking or play in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
• Steering response that no longer tracks accurately
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to contamination

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s steering position and build date before ordering, especially for 2009 Ford Escape and 2009 Mercury Mariner applications with the listed cutoff date. Inspect the inner tie rod, alignment angles, and related steering hardware during replacement. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct toe settings and steering wheel position. Delphi TA5067 is an outer tie rod end, so verify thread direction, end dimensions, and mounting style against the original part before service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering to its steering portfolio and subjects parts to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt-spray exposure. That testing supports durability in demanding steering applications on Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner platforms. Part number TA5067 is built to meet standard replacement needs with OE-style fit and material control.
