Detailed Description

Delphi TA2865 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the left outer position, with OE-style dimensional and material analysis used to support correct alignment and steering feel. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt spray testing, to verify durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801130 for the same application.

Compatible With 2012-2017 Hyundai Accent, left outer; 2013-2017 Kia Rio, left outer; 2012 Kia Rio, left outer; and 2011 Hyundai Accent, left outer. Delphi TA2865 is a direct-fit steering service part for these applications and is referenced by part number TA2865 for ordering and catalog lookup.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering at the front end

• Steering wheel off-center after tie rod wear
• Corrosion-related failure in exposed steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer position, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation. After replacement, inspect the steering linkage and perform a professional wheel alignment to restore proper toe settings.
