Delphi TA1394 Steering Tie Rod End - Inner

Delphi TA1394 Front Inner Tie Rod End

Delphi TA1394 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for front inner applications on select Volkswagen models. It combines OE-based dimensional control with a coated steel construction, pre-greased operation, and direct-fit threaded ends for service on Volkswagen Corrado, Golf, and Jetta steering systems.

Key Features

• Front inner steering tie rod end for select Volkswagen applications
• Delphi part number TA1394
• Steel housing and steel tie rod material with coated finish
• Pre-greased design; grease fitting not included
• Adjustable straight design for steering linkage service
• Male threaded ends with clockwise thread direction
• Mounting hardware included
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency

Detailed Description

Delphi TA1394 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for front inner use. It is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a coated black finish to support durability in steering service. The pre-greased design and POM bearing material help reduce initial service prep, while the straight, adjustable layout supports proper steering linkage alignment during replacement. Delphi applies OE-level testing and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to help maintain fit and performance expectations. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MEV270 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1993-1995 Volkswagen Corrado, inner.
• Fits 1990-1992 Volkswagen Corrado, inner, male threads.
• Fits 1990-1992 Volkswagen Golf, inner, male threads.
• Fits 1985-1992 Volkswagen Jetta, inner, male threads.
• Fits 1985-1989 Volkswagen Golf, inner, from chassis serial number 19HB999999.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Excessive play in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Clunking or knocking from the front inner steering area
• Failed or worn tie rod end threads during alignment service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s inner steering linkage configuration before installation, including male-thread requirements and chassis serial number notes where listed. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to confirm steering geometry and toe settings. Inspect adjacent steering components for wear so the new tie rod end is not installed into a worn linkage system.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and validation methods for its steering parts, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for temperature and corrosion resistance. That approach supports consistent fitment for Volkswagen Corrado, Golf, and Jetta steering service applications.
