Detailed Description

Delphi TA2358 tie rod end is built for the front left outer steering location and is intended for vehicles that require precise linkage between the steering rack and wheel assembly. The part uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot, with a pre-greased, non-greaseable construction for low-maintenance operation. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt spray validation, to support durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3601 for the same application.

Fits 2001-2002 Toyota Highlander, left outer; fits 2002-2003 Toyota Camry, left outer; fits 2002-2003 Lexus ES300, left outer. Delphi TA2358 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for these applications and is commonly searched as a front left outer tie rod end for Toyota Camry, Lexus ES300, and Toyota Highlander models.

Common Steering Issues It May Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the wheel
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage components
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension and steering area
• Imprecise toe control after tie rod wear
• Steering response that feels delayed or inconsistent

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left outer position before installation and confirm thread size, thread direction, and overall dimensions against the removed part. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Inspect the related steering and suspension components for wear before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio, with dimensional and material analysis used to support fit and function. The TA2358 is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance to help meet the demands of everyday steering service.
