Detailed Description

Delphi TA6396 is engineered for steering service where a direct-fit right outer tie rod end is required. The straight design, steel housing, steel tie rod construction, and threaded stud setup support consistent steering linkage replacement on Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-150, and Ford E-250 models listed above. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material checks to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the original application closely.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800401 for the same application.

Use Delphi TA6396 when servicing worn steering linkage on compatible Ford vans and Super Duty chassis applications. The pre-greased design, included grease fitting, and dust boot help simplify service while maintaining a sealed joint at the steering connection point.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play at the right outer tie rod location
• Clunking or looseness from worn steering linkage joints
• Uneven front tire wear caused by steering end wear
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Boot damage or grease loss at the tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm right outer placement before installation and match the thread direction to the existing steering linkage. After replacement, perform a professional alignment to restore correct toe settings and steering response. Inspect the adjacent steering components for wear so the new tie rod end is not installed into a compromised linkage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and subjects parts to 720 hours of salt spray exposure. These checks, along with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis, support consistent fit and corrosion resistance for steering service.
