Detailed Description

Delphi TA1214 is part of Delphi’s steering and suspension aftermarket portfolio, backed by OE-focused engineering practices. Delphi validates parts through temperature extremes, salt-spray exposure, and dimensional and material analysis to support consistent fit and performance. This tie rod end uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot for a durable service replacement.

The TA1214 is a front left steering tie rod end with a threaded stud design, 10.0 mm end 1 thread diameter, 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, and 1.5 thread pitch on end 2. Its bent profile and 230.0 mm stud-center-to-end length help match OE steering geometry on the intended application. If you are replacing a worn front left tie rod end on a Honda Civic or another listed OE-style fitment, Delphi TA1214 provides a direct replacement path.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Steering play or looseness at the front left wheel
• Clunking or knocking from a worn tie rod joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Imprecise steering response during lane changes or turns
• Failed dust boot or contaminated joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the steering linkage, inner tie rod, and alignment components before installation. Because this part is not adjustable and is pre-greased, install it as a direct replacement and complete a wheel alignment after service. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and front left position before assembly to ensure correct application on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering parts and subjects components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing. That engineering approach supports consistent replacement quality for the TA1214 steering tie rod end.
