Delphi Inner Steering Tie Rod End TA5432

Delphi TA5432 is an inner steering tie rod end built as a standard replacement for select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications. It is pre-greased, uses a coated steel housing and steel tie rod construction, and is engineered with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper steering linkage fit.

Key Features

  • Part number TA5432 inner steering tie rod end
  • Fits 2009-2012 Ford Escape, inner
  • Fits 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute, inner
  • Fits 2010-2011 Mercury Mariner, inner
  • 14 mm male threads on both ends with 1.5 pitch

  • Pre-greased with mounting hardware included
  • Steel housing and steel tie rod with coated finish
  • Black finish with POM bearing material

Detailed Description

Delphi TA5432 is designed for inner steering linkage replacement where precise thread engagement and OE-style dimensions matter. The straight, adjustable layout and 14 mm clockwise threaded ends support service on the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner applications listed below. Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure testing, then applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain fit and function across OE and aftermarket use. If you are replacing a worn inner tie rod end on a 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute, or 2010-2011 Mercury Mariner, TA5432 provides a direct service part reference for that steering position.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Steering play or looseness at the inner tie rod
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage components
  • Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
  • Incorrect toe settings after tie rod wear
  • Restoring steering response on Escape, Tribute, and Mariner models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and position before installation. TA5432 is an inner tie rod end with 14 mm male threads and a straight, adjustable design, so alignment should be checked after service. Confirm the steering rack and outer tie rod condition during replacement to avoid repeat repairs. Use the vehicle fitment details exactly as listed for 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2010-2011 Mercury Mariner applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering to its aftermarket steering portfolio and tests components for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure. The TA5432 part number is built to meet standard replacement expectations for steering service while maintaining dimensional consistency with the listed fitments.
