Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA5409 steering tie rod end is constructed with a durable steel housing and tie rod material, providing the necessary strength to withstand the rigors of daily driving and off-road conditions.

This tie rod end is pre-greased, eliminating the need for immediate maintenance after installation, although it does not include a grease fitting or dust boot. The package comes with mounting hardware to facilitate a secure and proper fit on Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon models.
