Detailed Description

Delphi TA1838 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for front inner use. It features a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a polyoxymethylene bearing material, along with a coated black finish for added corrosion resistance. The part is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting or dust boot, which keeps the design straightforward for steering linkage replacement. Delphi validates its steering components through temperature and salt-spray testing to support OE-level performance expectations. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4257 for the same application.

Compatible With 1989-1993 Mitsubishi Galant, inner steering service; 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, inner steering service; 1992-1994 Mitsubishi Expo LRV, inner steering service; 1992-1995 Mitsubishi Expo, inner steering service; and 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser, inner steering service. Delphi TA1838 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end choice for these front inner applications.

What It Helps Repair

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Alignment instability after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before installation. Delphi TA1838 is adjustable, so final alignment should be checked after replacement. Because this part is listed for front inner steering positions, confirm the vehicle’s steering layout and compare the removed component to the new part before assembly. Use the included mounting hardware as required by the application.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering to its aftermarket steering portfolio and subjects parts to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing. Dimensional and material analysis is used to support proper OE-to-aftermarket fit for the listed Mitsubishi and Plymouth applications.
