Detailed Description

Delphi TA5563 is engineered as an OE-style steering tie rod end for vehicles that require a left outer steering linkage component. Delphi applies OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering system. The part is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod, plastic bearing material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot for a durable service replacement. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801110 for the same application.

Compatible With select Ford Edge, Ford GT, Ford Fusion, Lincoln Nautilus, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln MKZ, and Lincoln MKX applications. Search terms such as Ford Fusion left outer tie rod end, Lincoln MKZ steering tie rod replacement, and Ford Edge outer steering linkage part all point to this application family. Delphi TA5563 is also referenced by OE-style interchange numbers including DG9Z 3A130-B and F2GZ 3A130-B.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front suspension
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering wheel wander or poor tracking on the road
• Failed inspection due to worn steering components

Installation Notes

Verify the left outer position before installation and confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original part. Because this tie rod end is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after replacement to restore correct steering geometry. Use the included mounting hardware as specified by the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure. These validation steps, combined with OE dimensional analysis, support consistent fitment and corrosion resistance for service replacement use.
