Detailed Description

Delphi TA2879 is a left outer steering tie rod end engineered for Honda Fit and Honda Insight models listed in the fitment data. The part number TA2879 is built as a standard replacement with a female end 1, male end 2, and clockwise thread direction on both ends. It also features a pre-greased internal design, a dust boot made from chloroprene rubber, and a steel housing to support dependable steering linkage service. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses dimensional and material analysis to align aftermarket fit with OE requirements. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6816 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the left front wheel
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven toe settings caused by steering linkage wear
• Dust and moisture intrusion around the steering joint
• Restoration of steering response on Honda Fit and Honda Insight models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2879 at the left outer steering position only on the listed vehicles. Verify thread direction, stud dimensions, and alignment settings before and after installation. Because this is an adjustable tie rod end, a professional wheel alignment is required after replacement to restore correct toe and steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and durability testing to its steering portfolio, including exposure to subzero and high-temperature conditions plus extended salt-spray testing. The TA2879 is built to support consistent fitment and long-term service in everyday steering applications.
