Fitment and Application Details

Fits 1975-1982 Toyota Corolla, inner; fits 1979-1982 Toyota Corona, inner; fits 1971-1981 Toyota Celica, inner. Delphi TA1229 is an inner steering tie rod end for vehicles using a bent, non-adjustable design with clockwise thread direction on both ends. The part uses a steel tie rod, plastic bearing material, chloroprene rubber dust boot, and includes mounting hardware as listed in the product data.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the inner linkage
• Excessive play caused by wear in the tie rod end joint
• Steering noise from a deteriorated inner steering component
• Contamination entering the joint after dust boot failure
• Restoration of steering linkage geometry on Toyota Corolla, Corona, and Celica models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread diameter, pitch, and end orientation before installation. Delphi TA1229 uses a 14.0 mm thread diameter on end 1 and a 12.0 mm thread diameter on end 2, with 1.5 mm and 1.25 mm thread pitch specifications respectively. Because this is an inner steering component, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement to confirm steering wheel centering and toe settings.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing and dimensional analysis to its steering portfolio. This part is validated for extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray resistance to support durability in demanding road conditions.
