Key Features

• Fits left inner steering applications on select Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty models
• Delphi part number TA5165
• Steel housing with coated finish for corrosion resistance
• Pre-greased design with dust boot included
• Bent tie rod end style with threaded stud construction
• Non-adjustable, standard replacement design
• Mounting hardware included
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency

Product Details

Delphi applies OE steering expertise to its aftermarket portfolio, and TA5165 reflects that approach with careful dimensional and material analysis for proper compatibility. The part is engineered with a steel tie rod body, polyoxymethylene bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot material. It also uses clockwise and counterclockwise thread directions at the ends, a 1.5 thread pitch, and a threaded stud type for the specified steering application. Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to validate durability in demanding environments. This part cross-references Dorman Premium TI85301XL for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive steering play at the left inner tie rod location
• Clunking or looseness from worn steering linkage components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Imprecise steering response in Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks
• Corrosion-related wear in exposed steering components

Installation Notes

Verify left inner position, thread direction, and axle configuration before installation. TA5165 is a non-adjustable steering tie rod end, so alignment should be checked after replacement to confirm steering geometry and toe settings. Inspect adjacent steering components for wear before completing the repair.
