Detailed Description

Delphi TA3043 is engineered as a bent-style steering tie rod end with a female end 2, threaded stud design, and non-adjustable construction. It measures 245.0 mm from stud center to end and uses a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help shield internal components from road debris and moisture. The unit is pre-greased and does not require a grease fitting, making it a straightforward replacement for worn outer steering linkage components.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801080 and Mevotech Supreme MS60609 for the same application. If you are servicing a 1996-2004 Acura RL or a 1996-1998 Acura TL, Delphi TA3043 provides a direct-fit steering tie rod end option for the left outer position. Delphi TA3043 is built for drivers replacing a loose or worn outer tie rod on Acura RL and Acura TL front steering systems.

What It Helps Fix

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front left outer linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension and steering area
• Imprecise steering response during lane changes or turns
• Failed inspection due to worn outer tie rod end condition

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-2004 Acura RL, left outer. Fits 1996-1998 Acura TL, left outer. Confirm the vehicle’s steering position before installation, since this part is listed for the front left outer / left outer application. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE safety technology and applies dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering parts. The brand also subjects steering components to extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.
