Detailed Description

Delphi TA2916 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the right outer steering position. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and consistent steering geometry on vehicles such as the Audi A4, A6, Q5, S4, S5, SQ5, RS7, and Porsche Macan. The part is pre-greased, includes a dust boot, and uses a coated steel housing and steel tie rod for durability in demanding road conditions. Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate performance under harsh environments.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800671 for the same application.

Used For

• Correcting looseness or play at the right front steering linkage
• Addressing uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
• Supporting proper front-end alignment after steering service
• Replacing a damaged or corroded tie rod end on Audi and Porsche vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA2916 at the right outer steering position only. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to verify toe settings and steering wheel center. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and vehicle application before installation on Audi A4, A6, Q5, and Porsche Macan models. Delphi TA2916 is not adjustable and is intended as a direct replacement for the listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components with OE-oriented dimensional and material checks, plus environmental testing that includes sub-zero and high-temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing. This part is built to Delphi’s standard replacement specifications for the listed fitments.
