Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application and position before installation. Delphi TA5317 is a straight, non-adjustable outer tie rod end with a female end 2 thread and threaded stud design, so alignment should be checked after replacement. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original part before service. For best results, inspect related steering components such as inner tie rods, boots, and alignment settings during repair.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused testing and material validation for its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800948 for the same application and Dorman Premium TO90275XL for the same application.
