Detailed Description

Delphi TA1497 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front inner position. It uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a coated finish, with a pre-greased bearing assembly made from polyoxymethylene (POM). The straight, adjustable design helps match OE-style steering geometry, while the 14.0 mm thread diameter on both ends and clockwise thread direction support proper fitment on the listed Volvo applications. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the part matches the original steering interface for Volvo C70, S70, V70, and 850 models.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV330 and Beck/Arnley 101-4694 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering design and position before installation. This part is listed for front inner applications with TRW design rack-and-pinion steering on the specified Volvo models. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the removed component before assembly. Because the unit is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting or dust boot, inspect adjacent steering components and complete a professional alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused testing and validation for its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing. The brand also performs dimensional and material analysis to support fit and function against the original part design.
