Detailed Description

Delphi TA5174 is engineered as an inner steering tie rod end for vehicles that require a precise OE-style steering linkage replacement. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain compatibility between the original part and the aftermarket replacement, while the high-strength steel housing and steel tie rod support durable service in demanding steering conditions. This part number is also referenced as Delphi TA5174 in catalog searches for Ford Expedition inner tie rod end, Ford F-150 inner tie rod end, and Lincoln Navigator inner steering repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Excessive steering wheel play
• Clunking or looseness in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Imprecise steering response during lane changes or turns
• Failed inner tie rod end inspection during chassis service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle steering configuration before ordering; 2011-2014 Ford F-150 applications listed here require hydraulic steering. Match thread diameter, thread pitch, and overall length to the original component before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Delphi TA5174 is an inner position component, so confirm the vehicle’s inner tie rod service location during diagnosis.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. Delphi TA5174 is backed by the brand’s OE-focused steering engineering approach for the listed Ford Expedition, Ford F-150, and Lincoln Navigator applications.
