Durable Construction and Design Features

The Delphi TA5640 tie rod end features a robust SAE 1045 steel housing and tie rod material, providing the necessary strength to withstand steering system stresses. Its electrophoresis coating offers enhanced corrosion protection, extending the component's lifespan. Both ends are male threaded, with End 1 having a 0.5-inch diameter and 20 threads per inch (clockwise), and End 2 a 0.563-inch diameter with 18 threads per inch (counterclockwise). This design allows for precise adjustment and alignment during installation. The included dust boot protects the joint from contaminants, while the pre-greased and greaseable design with a grease fitting ensures smooth operation and reduces wear over time.

Applications and Problem Solving

This steering tie rod end is intended for use as an inner tie rod replacement on select Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. It addresses common steering issues such as:
