OE-Style Steering Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5979 is a steering tie rod end built for the right outer position on select Jeep Cherokee models. It combines OE-focused dimensional and material analysis with durability testing for demanding steering service.

Built for Steering Precision

Delphi applies OE engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to match the original part as closely as possible. TA5979 is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate corrosion resistance. This makes it a practical choice for Jeep Cherokee steering repairs where consistent alignment and steering response matter.

This part cross-references Chrysler 68224 936AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Loose or vague steering feel at the front right outer linkage
  • Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end
  • Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
  • Steering pull or alignment instability after component wear
  • Corrosion-related deterioration in the steering joint area

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and right outer position before installation. Because this is a bent tie rod end with fixed dimensions, confirm thread size, thread pitch, and overall length against the original component. A professional alignment is recommended after replacement to restore steering geometry on the Jeep Cherokee.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE safety technology and aftermarket steering validation to support consistent fit and performance. TA5979 is evaluated through temperature cycling, salt spray exposure, and dimensional checks to help ensure dependable replacement quality for 2014-2018 Jeep Cherokee steering service.
