Delphi TA2706 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for the front right inner position. It is engineered for 2005-2011 Kia Rio and 2006-2011 Kia Rio5 applications, with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and steering response.

Key Features

• Front right inner steering tie rod end
• Standard replacement grade for steering service
• Male end 1 design
• Mounting hardware included
• No grease fitting and no dust boot included
• Delphi OE safety technology applied to aftermarket steering parts
• Tested for temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2706 is a steering tie rod end for the front right inner position on select Kia subcompact models. It is a direct-fit replacement for 2006-2011 Kia Rio, front right inner, 2006-2011 Kia Rio5, front right inner, and 2005 Kia Rio, front right inner from 05/23/2005. Delphi applies OE-style engineering and dimensional analysis to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the original steering geometry and installation requirements. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., EV800351) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front right inner linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering response issues after suspension or front-end service
• Replacement needs on Kia Rio and Kia Rio5 steering systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right inner position before installation and compare the original part dimensions to the new component. Because this tie rod end does not include a grease fitting or dust boot, inspect the surrounding steering components, alignment settings, and adjacent hardware during service. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after replacement on Kia Rio and Kia Rio5 applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components through temperature cycling and corrosion exposure testing, including sub-zero and high-heat conditions plus extended salt spray testing. The brand also uses OE dimensional and material analysis to support consistent fitment and performance across aftermarket steering applications.
