Detailed Description

The Delphi TA870 steering tie rod end is built for OE-style replacement performance in steering systems that demand accurate alignment and consistent response. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, then validates dimensions and materials to support proper compatibility with the original part design. This makes the TA870 a practical choice for Land Rover Discovery steering repair, as well as select Defender 90, Defender 110, and Range Rover right outer applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The Delphi TA870 also cross-references part numbers such as ES800273 and TO35032.

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or play in the steering linkage
• Uneven front-end alignment caused by worn tie rod ends
• Steering response issues from damaged dust boot or joint wear
• Replacement needs on Land Rover Discovery, Defender 90, Defender 110, and Range Rover steering systems
