Built for OE-Style Steering Service

This Delphi steering tie rod end is designed for inner steering linkage replacement where accurate thread engagement, correct dimensions, and durable materials matter. The TA5461 uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a polyoxymethylene bearing material to support dependable operation in the steering system. Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing, reflecting the brand’s OE background in aftermarket steering parts. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
