Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA5384 steering tie rod end is a critical component in the steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle. Its bent design and precise dimensions, including a length of 125.0 mm and a width of 40.0 mm, ensure proper alignment and steering response. Both ends have male threaded studs with different thread pitches (20 TPI on end 1 and 18 TPI on end 2), and the end 2 thread direction is counterclockwise, matching OEM specifications for a secure fit.

Constructed with a steel housing and tie rod material, this part offers durability under demanding driving conditions. The plastic bearing material reduces friction, while the chloroprene rubber dust boot protects the joint from dirt and moisture. Pre-greased and equipped with a grease fitting, the TA5384 allows for easy lubrication, extending the service life of the tie rod end.
