Detailed Description

Delphi TA2001 is a front inner steering tie rod end for 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle models, with fitment limited to vehicles from VIN # W047125. The part uses a straight, adjustable layout and is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod, and coated finish for service in the steering system. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help match the original part’s fit and function, and the component is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to verify durability in demanding environments. The TA2001 also features a pre-greased design and includes mounting hardware for installation.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV400 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front inner linkage
• Excessive play caused by worn tie rod end joints
• Uneven steering response from degraded steering components
• Clunking or knocking noises from worn steering linkage parts
• Alignment issues related to worn inner steering hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle VIN before ordering, since this application is limited to Beetle models from VIN # W047125. Inspect the steering linkage, related boots, and alignment settings during replacement, and verify thread direction and adjustment length before final installation. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this steering component using OE-focused engineering and validation methods, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for temperature and corrosion exposure. That approach supports consistent fitment and dependable steering service in the front inner position.
