Detailed Description

Delphi TA6491 is an inner tie rod end engineered for steering systems that require accurate thread engagement, stable housing strength, and OE-style dimensional consistency. It is a straight, non-adjustable unit with male threaded ends, a steel housing, and a coated finish for added protection. The part is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting, dust boot, or mounting hardware. For drivers servicing a Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon, Delphi TA6491 supports direct replacement of the inner steering linkage component with attention to OE compatibility.

Delphi applies OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio and validates parts through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Steering wheel play or wandering
• Uneven tire wear linked to steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the steering system
• Failed inspection due to worn inner tie rod components
