Detailed Description

Delphi TA5460 is a steering tie rod end for the right outer position on 2008-2011 Ford Focus models. It features a bent profile, threaded stud design, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the intended steering geometry and installation requirements. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., ES800305) for the same application.

• Replaces a damaged dust boot or contaminated joint
• Supports proper toe control after steering service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2008-2011 Ford Focus with the right outer steering position before installation. Compare thread direction, thread diameters, and overall dimensions to the removed part to confirm match-up. After installation, perform a professional alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear control. Delphi TA5460 is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, so no routine greasing is required.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing for corrosion resistance. The brand also uses OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support fit and performance consistency for the Ford Focus application.
