Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Excessive play in the steering system
  • Clunking or knocking from worn tie rod end joints
  • Grease loss or contamination at the steering joint
  • Corrosion-related wear on the outer steering connection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right outer position and compare thread size, thread direction, and stud dimensions before installation. After replacement, inspect the full steering linkage and perform a professional wheel alignment to restore proper toe settings. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s steering configuration for 1987-1990 Jeep Wrangler models before service.

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. TA5279 is designed using OE-oriented material and dimensional analysis to support consistent fit and performance in service.
