Delphi TA5581 Steering Tie Rod End - Right Outer

Delphi TA5581 Right Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5581 is a steering tie rod end built for the right outer position on select Dodge Ram trucks. It combines OE-based dimensional analysis with materials and testing intended to match factory steering fit and function on the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500.

• Right outer steering tie rod end for select Dodge Ram applications
• Pre-greased design with dust boot included
• Steel housing and steel tie rod construction
• Coated black finish for added surface protection
• Male threaded ends with clockwise and counterclockwise thread directions
• Standard replacement grade for steering service work
• Mounting hardware included

OE-Style Steering Construction

Delphi TA5581 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end with a bent profile, threaded stud design, and non-adjustable construction. The part uses a steel housing, polyoxymethylene bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot to support steering joint protection and consistent operation. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature cycling and salt-spray exposure, then verifies dimensions and materials for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1463 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, right outer; 33.5in length; tapered hole mounted steering damper.
• Fits 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500, right outer; 33.5in length; tapered hole mounted steering damper.
• Fits 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 3500, right outer; 33.5in length; tapered hole mounted steering damper.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering at the right front wheel end
• Steering play caused by wear in the outer tie rod joint
• Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage movement
• Clunking or knocking from a worn steering connection
• Restoration of steering response on Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks

Installation Notes

Verify the right outer position, 33.5-inch length requirement, and tapered hole mounted steering damper note before installation. Thread direction is specific to each end, so confirm orientation during replacement on the Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, or Ram 3500. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore proper steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and dimensional analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio. TA5581 is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding steering service conditions.
