Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE steering expertise to this aftermarket tie rod end, with dimensional and material analysis used to support proper fit and function. TA2168 is engineered for the left outer steering position and features a threaded stud design with counterclockwise and clockwise thread directions at the respective ends for steering linkage service. The part number TA2168 is a practical choice for drivers and technicians replacing worn steering components on vehicles such as Honda Civic applications where precise front-end steering response matters. Delphi TA2168 is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

  • Steering play or looseness at the front end
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
  • Clunking or knocking from the outer tie rod area
  • Poor steering response or wandering during driving
  • Service needs on left outer steering linkage components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and position before installation. TA2168 is a non-adjustable tie rod end, so alignment should be checked after replacement. Inspect the steering knuckle, inner tie rod, and related hardware for wear before completing the repair. This part is commonly selected for Honda Civic steering service and other applications that call for the same left outer configuration.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand’s OE-focused engineering and material validation help support consistent aftermarket fitment for steering repairs. Part number TA2168 is built to standard replacement expectations for steering service.
