Delphi TA2485 Inner Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2485 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end for front inner applications on select Audi models. Built with a steel housing, coated finish, and pre-greased construction, it is made for precise steering linkage service on vehicles such as the Audi A4, A5, S4, S5, Q5, TT, and related Quattro models.

Key Features

  • Part number: TA2485
  • Steering tie rod end for front inner use
  • Straight design with adjustable fitment
  • Steel tie rod and steel housing
  • Coated black finish for added surface protection
  • Pre-greased; grease fitting not included
  • Mounting hardware included
  • Male end connections with 16.0 mm thread diameter
  • Clockwise thread direction on both ends
  • Length from stud center to end: 206.0 mm (8.11 in.)

Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio so the part matches the original application as closely as possible. TA2485 is engineered for demanding steering service and is tested across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to help verify durability in harsh road conditions. This makes it a practical replacement for Audi steering repairs where inner tie rod wear can affect alignment and steering response. Cross-reference part numbers include MOOG EV800300 and Beck/Arnley 101-6697 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Excessive steering play or looseness
  • Clunking or knocking from the front steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn inner tie rod components
  • Steering wheel wander or poor straight-line tracking
  • Alignment instability after steering system wear

After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. Verify thread direction, chassis breakpoints, and steering assist configuration before service. The TA2485 is a direct-fit steering service part for Audi A4, A5, S4, S5, Q5, TT, and related models with confirmed inner-position coverage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-level testing and material validation for its steering components, including temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt-spray exposure. That validation supports consistent fit and corrosion resistance for the TA2485 inner tie rod end.
