Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA5274 steering tie rod end is specifically designed for compatibility with Ford Mustang and Mercury Villager vehicles. Its bent design and precise dimensions, including a length of 134.0 mm and a width of 40.0 mm, provide proper fitment and alignment. Both ends have male threaded studs with a 0.688 inch (17.4625 mm) diameter and 18 threads per inch, featuring clockwise thread direction for secure attachment. The steel housing and tie rod material offer structural integrity, while the plastic bearing reduces friction for smoother steering response.

This tie rod end comes pre-greased and includes a grease fitting, allowing for routine lubrication to extend service life. The chloroprene rubber dust boot protects the joint from dirt and moisture, preventing premature wear. The coated black finish adds corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various driving environments. Mounting hardware is included to facilitate installation without the need for additional parts.
