Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE engineering methods to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and TA2994 reflects that approach with dimensional and material analysis aimed at proper fit and consistent operation. The part uses a black coated finish, steel housing, and steel tie rod construction, along with a plastic bearing material and a threaded stud. It is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, which simplifies routine service on the steering linkage.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3601 for the same application. It also cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-5318 for the same application. For Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon, Lexus ES350, Lexus ES330, and Toyota Solara steering repair, Delphi TA2994 provides a direct replacement option for the left outer position.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores steering linkage movement when the outer tie rod end is worn
• Addresses looseness or play in the front left steering connection
• Helps correct steering wander or imprecise road feel
• Replaces a damaged dust boot or corroded tie rod end assembly
• Supports proper front-end steering response after suspension service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2994 on the front left outer position only, and verify vehicle-specific application before service. Because this tie rod end is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation. Inspect the mating steering components, threads, and mounting points for wear or damage before assembly, and confirm the correct thread direction and diameter match the vehicle specification.

Quality Assurance

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. TA2994 is built to support OE-level compatibility for the listed Toyota and Lexus applications, including 2004-2011 Toyota Camry and 2007-2012 Lexus ES350.
