Detailed Description

This Delphi steering tie rod end is engineered as a standard replacement for inner steering linkage service. The steel housing, steel tie rod material, and POM bearing material support consistent steering response, while the clockwise thread direction and 14.0 mm thread diameter help match OE-style fitment requirements. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility between the original part and the aftermarket replacement, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray conditions to verify durability in demanding environments. If you are replacing worn steering components on a Dodge Neon, Chrysler Neon, or Plymouth Neon, Delphi TA5351 provides a direct-fit solution for the inner steering position.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV403 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel from a worn inner tie rod end
• Steering play caused by joint wear in the inner linkage
• Uneven front-end response during turning or lane changes
• Noisy steering movement from degraded steering components
• Restoration of proper steering geometry after tie rod service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and inner position before installation. This part is listed for 2000-2003 Dodge Neon, 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, and 2000-2001 Plymouth Neon with 12.9 in. length notes. Inspect the steering rack, outer tie rod ends, and alignment settings during replacement, and complete a professional wheel alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation for its steering portfolio. The part is also subjected to temperature extremes and extended salt-spray exposure testing to support long-term service performance.
