Detailed Description

Delphi TA2378 is a bent steering tie rod end engineered for OE-style replacement in the front left outer location. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original steering geometry, while the sealed, pre-greased construction supports dependable operation in demanding road conditions. The part uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect internal components from contamination.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., ES800449, ES800450) for the same application. It is a direct-fit steering replacement for 1998-2001 Toyota Land Cruiser, 1998-2001 Lexus LX470, 2002-2003 Toyota Land Cruiser, and 2002 Lexus LX470, front left outer. Delphi TA2378 is a practical choice when replacing worn steering linkage on these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven steering response caused by joint wear
• Steering linkage contamination from a damaged boot
• Front-end alignment issues related to steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left outer position before installation and confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the removed part. Because this tie rod end is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation. Inspect the mating steering components for wear before completing the repair on Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470 models.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions and uses OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support fit and performance. The brand’s OE background informs its aftermarket steering portfolio, including this Delphi TA2378 replacement part.
