Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA5283 steering tie rod end is a critical component in the steering system of select Ford Econoline vans. Its bent design and precise dimensions (length 123.0 mm, width 45.0 mm, height 94.7 mm) allow for proper alignment and smooth steering response. The part features a coated black finish that helps resist corrosion and wear over time. Both ends have male threaded studs with different thread directions (clockwise on End 1 and counterclockwise on End 2) to ensure secure fitment and prevent loosening during operation.

This tie rod end comes pre-greased and includes a grease fitting, allowing for straightforward lubrication and extended service life. The chloroprene rubber dust boot protects the internal components from dirt and moisture, while the high strength steel housing and steel tie rod material provide structural integrity under demanding driving conditions. The included mounting hardware simplifies installation, making it a practical replacement part for Ford E-100 and E-150 Econoline vans.
