Detailed Description

Delphi TA5078 is engineered for steering systems that require a right outer tie rod end with OE-style dimensions and materials. Delphi applies the same safety and durability focus used in its OE programs, with testing that includes extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray resistance. The result is a replacement steering component built for consistent fitment on the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Ford F-150 applications listed above. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800514 for the same application.

Physical specifications include a length of 166.0 mm, width of 60.6 mm, height of 117.5 mm, and a tube diameter of 28.0 mm. The unit uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot material. It is pre-greased, non-greaseable, and uses a threaded stud design with a 20.7 mm cone outside diameter.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel at the front end
• Clunking or play in the outer steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Steering response that feels delayed or inconsistent
• Visible wear, damage, or boot failure at the right outer tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA5078 on the right outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, stud fitment, and overall length against the removed part before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. For fitment confirmation, use the vehicle application data for 2007-2022 Ford Expedition, 2007-2022 Lincoln Navigator, and 2009-2020 Ford F-150.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-level dimensional and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts and subjects components to temperature and corrosion testing to support consistent performance. Part number TA5078 is built to meet standard replacement requirements for the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
