Detailed Description

Delphi TA1656 is engineered for steering systems that require a front inner tie rod end with OE-style fit and material control. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature testing from below -40 degrees C to over 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support proper match-up between the OE part and the aftermarket replacement.

For Honda Civic and Honda CRX applications from 1988 through 1991, TA1656 provides a direct replacement option for the inner steering linkage. The part number TA1656 is also referenced by several aftermarket listings, making it easier to verify the correct steering tie rod end for the vehicle.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front inner linkage
• Excessive play in the steering system
• Uneven steering response during lane changes or turns
• Wear-related replacement needs on aging Honda Civic and Honda CRX steering components
• Restoration of proper steering linkage geometry after service

Installation Notes

Install on the front inner steering position only. Verify thread direction, end style, and vehicle application before assembly. Mounting hardware is included, while a grease fitting and dust boot are not. After installation, perform a professional alignment to confirm steering geometry and tire wear control.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing and dimensional analysis to its steering portfolio to support fit and durability in aftermarket service. TA1656 is built as a standard replacement steering component for confirmed Honda Civic and Honda CRX inner applications.
