Delphi TA5973 Right Steering Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5973 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for the right side and engineered with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis. It is pre-greased, greaseable, and supplied with a dust boot to support consistent steering response in demanding road conditions.

Compatible With steering service needs on vehicles such as the Ford F-250 and Ford F-350, this Delphi tie rod end is made for direct replacement use where a straight, male-to-male tie rod end is required. The Delphi TA5973 part number is also referenced by cross-reference applications for the same use case.

Key Features

  • Right-side steering tie rod end
  • Straight design with male end connections
  • Pre-greased and greaseable for serviceability
  • Dust boot included to help protect the joint
  • Steel housing, steel bearing material, and steel tie rod construction
  • Coated black finish for added surface protection
  • Mounting hardware included
  • OE-focused fit and material analysis from Delphi

Detailed Description

Delphi TA5973 is a steering tie rod end designed as a standard replacement for the right side of the steering linkage. It features a straight profile, threaded stud design, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a grease fitting for maintenance access. The unit uses a chloroprene rubber dust boot and steel construction to support durability in steering applications.

Delphi validates its steering components through temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure to sub-zero and high-heat conditions as well as extended salt spray testing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn tie rod end on a Ford F-250 or Ford F-350, Delphi TA5973 provides a direct-service option for right-side steering repair.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

  • Loose or wandering steering feel
  • Front-end play caused by a worn tie rod end
  • Uneven tire wear linked to steering linkage wear
  • Clunking or knocking from the steering system
  • Steering response that feels delayed or inconsistent

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm right-side placement, thread direction, and thread size before installation. After replacement, have the steering system inspected and the alignment checked to help restore proper tracking and tire wear. Verify the existing steering linkage dimensions against Delphi TA5973, especially on Ford F-250 and Ford F-350 applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-level engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio and subjects components to temperature and corrosion testing to evaluate durability. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to improve OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
