Delphi TA5688 Steering Tie Rod End - Outer

Delphi TA5688 Front Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5688 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for front outer applications. It is engineered with OE-based dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit on the steering linkage, including Hummer H3 and H3T applications.

Key Features

• Front outer steering tie rod end for OE-style replacement
• Length: 184.0
• Female end 1 design
• Dust boot included
• Mounting hardware included
• Non-greaseable construction
• Standard replacement item grade
• Delphi part number TA5688

Product Details

Delphi applies OE steering expertise to this aftermarket tie rod end, with testing that includes extreme temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That validation helps support durability in demanding steering environments while maintaining dimensional compatibility with the original part. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800762 for the same application. Delphi TA5688 is a direct-fit steering component for Hummer H3 and H3T front outer service where precise steering response and stable linkage geometry are required.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or worn steering feel at the front outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a deteriorated tie rod end
• Uneven toe settings caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering response issues on Hummer H3 and H3T front outer applications
• Corrosion-related replacement needs in exposed steering components

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2006 Hummer H3, outer, 2nd design; 2007-2010 Hummer H3, outer; and 2009-2010 Hummer H3T, outer. Verify steering linkage condition, inspect adjacent components, and perform a professional alignment after installation. Delphi TA5688 includes a dust boot and mounting hardware, and the female end configuration should be matched to the original steering setup before service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates this steering tie rod end through OE-focused dimensional and material analysis, along with environmental testing for heat, cold, and salt exposure. The result is a replacement part built to align with Delphi’s OE engineering standards for steering service.
