Detailed Description

Delphi TA2846 is a steering tie rod end engineered for the front left outer location on 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 applications. It uses a straight design with a threaded stud, steel housing, and chloroprene rubber dust boot to support steering linkage service in a standard replacement format. The part is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, which simplifies maintenance after installation. Delphi validates its steering components through temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure to extreme cold, high heat, and extended salt spray, to help confirm material durability and OE-style fitment. If you are replacing a worn Lexus IS300 outer tie rod end, TA2846 provides a direct service part for the specified position. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800309 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front left outer linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering geometry components
• Clunking or play from a deteriorated outer tie rod end
• Steering wheel wander or reduced directional stability
• Failed dust boot or corrosion at the steering joint

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. After replacement, have the vehicle’s front-end alignment checked to restore proper toe settings. TA2846 is not adjustable, so correct installation and alignment are important for steering performance on Lexus IS300 models.
