Detailed Description

Delphi TA5555 is a standard replacement inner tie rod end designed for steering repair where precise linkage geometry matters. It measures 112.5 in length, 44.5 in width, and 93.0 in height, with a straight profile and threaded stud construction. The part uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot, and it arrives pre-greased with a grease fitting for future service. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and function in the steering system. This part number is used on 1975-1978 Dodge D100, 1977-1978 Dodge D150, 1976-1978 Dodge D200, and 1975-1978 Dodge Ramcharger inner steering applications, plus 1975 Dodge D200 models with right hand threads and 3000 lb or 3300 lb front axle configurations. For buyers searching for a Dodge D100 inner tie rod end or a Dodge Ramcharger steering tie rod replacement, Delphi TA5555 is a direct-fit service part to verify against the original component.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering play caused by worn inner tie rod joints
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven steering feel from damaged tie rod threads or housing wear
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to contamination

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and steering configuration before installation, especially on 1975 Dodge D200 applications with right hand threads and specific front axle ratings. Match the thread diameter, thread direction, and inner position to the original part before assembly. After installation, perform a professional alignment and inspect adjacent steering components for wear.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray testing. That validation supports OE-level material and dimensional consistency for service on Dodge D100, Dodge D200, and Ramcharger steering systems.
