Detailed Description

Delphi TA1128 is an outer steering tie rod end made for vehicles that require a straight, non-adjustable replacement with OE-style dimensions. It uses a steel tie rod body, high-strength steel housing, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. The threaded ends are configured with a 14.0 mm counterclockwise thread on one side and a 12.0 mm clockwise thread on the other, supporting proper steering linkage connection on the specified Toyota fitments.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-1873 for the same application. Delphi TA1128 is a practical choice for restoring steering feel on Toyota Corolla, Celica, Corona, Cressida, and Van models where outer tie rod wear can affect alignment and road control.
