Detailed Description

Delphi TA5780 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the left outer side of the front steering linkage. It is built for 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited applications equipped with Electronic Ride Control (E.R.C.), making it a direct-fit service part for those specific vehicles. The steel construction, coated finish, and pre-greased design support dependable steering system service, while the included dust boot helps protect internal components from contamination.
