Detailed Description
The Delphi TA5289 steering tie rod end is engineered as a standard replacement for steering systems that require a left inner tie rod end. It features a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and polyoxymethylene bearing material for stable operation in demanding steering environments. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Fits 1983-1987 Mazda 626, left inner. Fits 1983-1987 Mazda 626, left inner. Part number TA5289 is a practical choice when servicing worn steering linkage components on the Mazda 626.
What It Helps Address
- Loose or imprecise steering response from worn inner tie rod components
- Front-end steering play caused by joint wear
- Uneven steering feel during lane changes or turns
- Clunking or knocking from deteriorated steering linkage parts
- Restoration of steering geometry after tie rod service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify left inner position, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation. The TA5289 uses male end connections, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and includes mounting hardware. Because it is pre-greased and not greaseable, no grease fitting is provided. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to confirm steering wheel center and toe settings.
Quality Assurance
Delphi tests steering components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero cold, high heat, and extended salt-spray exposure. That validation supports OE-style performance expectations for the TA5289 in service.
