The straight, adjustable layout supports precise steering linkage service, while the POM bearing material is selected for consistent movement and wear characteristics. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV800037 for the same application.
For Kia Rio steering repair work, TA2102 is listed for 2001-2004 Kia Rio inner and 2005 Kia Rio inner through 06/15/2005. If you are replacing a worn front inner tie rod end on a Kia Rio, Delphi TA2102 provides a direct-fit service part for those specific applications.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
- Loose or imprecise steering response
- Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
- Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
- Restoring alignment stability after steering component replacement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle application before installation, since this part is listed for front inner steering positions only. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the removed component before assembly. After installation on a 2001-2004 Kia Rio or 2005 Kia Rio inner application, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry.
Quality Assurance
Delphi applies OE-based engineering and testing to its steering portfolio, including extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray durability evaluation. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to improve OE-to-aftermarket compatibility for the listed Kia Rio applications.
