Detailed Product Information
Delphi applies OE engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and TA5398 reflects that approach with careful dimensional and material analysis for application matching. The tie rod end uses a steel tie rod body, high-strength steel housing, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint area from road contamination. It is a straight, non-adjustable design with male threaded ends and standard replacement construction for steering service on Chrysler New Yorker and Chrysler Town & Country vehicles.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1238405, ES158R) for the same application.

Common Steering Issues Addressed

Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1941-1942 Chrysler New Yorker, left inner. Fits 1941-1942 Chrysler Town & Country, left inner. Fits 1946-1948 Chrysler New Yorker, left inner. Fits 1946-1948 Chrysler Town & Country, left inner. Confirm the vehicle’s steering position and thread specifications before installation, and verify alignment after replacement. Because this is a straight, non-adjustable tie rod end, correct application matching is important for proper steering linkage setup.
Quality Assurance
Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and subjects parts to 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That validation, along with OE-based dimensional and material analysis, supports consistent aftermarket fitment for the Chrysler New Yorker and Chrysler Town & Country applications listed for TA5398.
