Detailed Description

Delphi TL2213 is a rear steering tie rod end assembly for vehicles that use a rear steering linkage. It serves as a replacement for worn or damaged steering components on applications such as the Buick Rendezvous, Pontiac Montana, and Pontiac Aztek, helping restore proper steering connection at the rear suspension.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear position and vehicle application before installation.
