Detailed Description

Delphi TA1905 is engineered as an OE-style steering tie rod end for front inner steering service. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper OE-to-aftermarket compatibility, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. The design uses a steel housing, polyoxymethylene bearing material, and a 16.0 mm thread diameter with clockwise thread direction on both ends.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV80665 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for many Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen GTI, and Audi A3 inner steering repairs where steering play, looseness, or uneven tire wear point to worn linkage components. Delphi TA1905 also appears in applications for Volkswagen Golf, Golf R, e-Golf, Passat, Tiguan, CC, Eos, and Audi Q3, RS3, and S3 models.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering wheel play caused by worn inner tie rod joints
• Clunking or looseness in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear related to steering geometry wear
• Imprecise steering response during lane changes or turns
• Failed inspection results tied to steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle application by year, make, model, and inner steering position before installation. This part is listed for front inner, inner, left inner, and right inner positions depending on the vehicle application, so confirm the correct side and configuration in the application tab. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and help protect tire life.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and validation methods for its steering portfolio, including temperature and corrosion testing, to support consistent fit and function. Part number TA1905 is built as a standard replacement steering component for select Volkswagen and Audi applications.
