Delphi TA5107 Steering Tie Rod End - Left Outer

Delphi TA5107 Left Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5107 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for the left outer position on select Ford trucks. It combines OE-based dimensional control with a coated steel housing, pre-greased construction, and a dust boot to support consistent steering response in demanding road conditions.

Key Features

• Fits the left outer steering position
• Pre-greased with grease fitting included for serviceability
• Dust boot included to help protect the joint from contamination
• Steel housing with coated finish
• Bent design for application-specific steering geometry
• Mounting hardware included
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper fit
• Tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure

Detailed Description

The Delphi TA5107 steering tie rod end is engineered for Ford F-100 and Ford F-250 applications that require a left outer replacement. It is built with a steel tie rod body, threaded male ends, a greaseable design, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help maintain joint protection and steering precision. Delphi applies OE-level analysis to match critical dimensions and materials, helping the part align with factory steering requirements on classic Ford truck platforms. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., DS736) for the same application. Delphi TA5107 is a direct-fit steering service part for owners restoring or maintaining Ford F-100 and Ford F-250 steering components.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1966-1971 Ford F-100, left outer.
• Fits 1965-1971 Ford F-250, left outer, RWD.
• Fits 1965 Ford F-100, left outer, RWD.

What It Helps Address

• Steering looseness at the left outer tie rod end
• Excessive play or wandering in the front end
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Noisy or rough steering joint movement
• Contamination-related wear in the steering connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer position, thread direction, and thread size before installation. After replacement, inspect the steering linkage, alignment settings, and adjacent wear points such as the center link and inner tie rod components. Because this is a threaded steering component, proper torque and alignment checks are important after service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE safety and performance expertise in its aftermarket steering portfolio. The TA5107 is subjected to extreme temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. Delphi also performs dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style compatibility.
