Detailed Description

Delphi TA2481 steering tie rod end is built for drivers replacing worn steering linkage parts on vehicles such as the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte family. This front right outer tie rod end uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot to support consistent steering feel while helping keep road debris out of the joint. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt spray, to validate durability for everyday driving conditions.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800230 and Mevotech Supreme MS90613 for the same application. Delphi TA2481 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for 2006-2013 Hyundai Elantra and 2010-2013 Kia Forte applications where the right outer position is specified.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering response
• Clunking or play in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional stability
