Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TA1870 is engineered as an OE-style steering tie rod end for the front outer position. It features a female end 2, threaded stud design, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot material. The part is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, making it a sealed-style service component for steering linkage repair.

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt spray evaluation. That testing approach supports consistent performance in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4164 for the same application.

Used For These Steering Issues

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front end
• Clunking or knocking noises from the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Loose or unstable steering feel during lane changes or turns
• Restoring front outer steering connection on worn Toyota suspension systems
