• Standard replacement part for OE-style steering service

This tie rod end is engineered for vehicles that need restored steering precision at the outer tie rod connection. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to improve part-to-part compatibility, and the component is tested across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to verify durability in demanding conditions. If you are servicing a Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, or Kia Magentis front suspension, TA1862 provides a direct replacement path for the left outer steering linkage.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Uneven front tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or play at the outer tie rod joint
• Steering wheel off-center after front-end service
• Failed inspection due to steering component wear

Installation Notes

Verify left outer fitment by year, model, and production date before installation. TA1862 uses a pre-greased, non-greaseable design, so no service fitting is provided. After installation on a Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima application, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore toe settings and steering wheel position.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this steering tie rod end using OE-based engineering practices and durability testing that includes sub-zero and high-temperature exposure, along with extended corrosion testing. Part number TA1862 is cross-referenced to Mevotech Supreme MES3630 for the same application.
