Detailed Description

Delphi TA5266 is engineered as a standard replacement tie rod end for front steering service on the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and 1999 Dodge Durango. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit between the replacement part and the original steering geometry. The part uses a steel tie rod body, plastic bearing material, and a coated exterior finish for added corrosion resistance. It also includes a dust boot, grease fitting, and pre-greased construction to support routine steering maintenance.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3399T for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Loose or wandering steering feel
  • Clunking or play in the front steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn tie rod components
  • Steering response that feels delayed or inconsistent
  • Visible wear in the dust boot or tie rod end joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front-position fitment before installation on your Dodge Dakota or Dodge Durango. Compare thread diameter, thread pitch, and overall dimensions to the original part before assembly. After replacement, have the front end inspected and aligned to restore proper steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand’s OE-based engineering approach supports consistent fit and material compatibility for aftermarket steering repair.
