Key Features

• Direct replacement steering tie rod end for the front right outer position
• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting required
• Dust boot included to help protect internal components from road contamination
• Steel housing and steel tie rod material with a coated finish
• Threaded stud design with male ends and fixed, non-adjustable construction
• Mounting hardware included
• Delphi OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency

Detailed Description

Delphi TA1701 is engineered for steering systems that require a straight tie rod end at the front right outer location. It fits 1990-1994 Toyota Land Cruiser, 1995-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, and 1996-1997 Lexus LX450 applications at the pitman arm to steering arm position. This part number, TA1701, is built with a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot to support long-term steering linkage service in demanding road conditions.

Delphi applies OE-level testing to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt spray testing. That focus on material and dimensional accuracy helps maintain proper thread engagement and steering geometry on Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX450 repairs. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MES3549 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Loose or wandering steering at the front end
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Excessive play at the front right outer tie rod end
• Visible boot damage or contamination around the joint

Installation Notes

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions before installation. Delphi TA1701 uses a clockwise thread direction on end 1 and a counterclockwise thread direction on end 2, so correct orientation matters during steering linkage service. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore proper toe settings and steering response.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-informed engineering and validation practices. The part is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance, and its dimensional analysis is used to support consistent replacement fit for the specified Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX450 applications.
