• Also fits 2005 Saab 9-2X inner steering applications
• Steel tie rod and steel housing with coated finish
• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting required
• Adjustable straight design with male threaded ends
• Mounting hardware included
• OE-focused replacement construction for dimensional consistency

Detailed Description

Delphi TA3050 is a front inner steering tie rod end engineered as a standard replacement for vehicles that require precise steering linkage fitment. The part uses a steel housing and steel tie rod with a coated finish, while the pre-greased, grease-free design reduces routine service points. Thread specifications include a 16.0 mm end 1 thread diameter and a 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, with clockwise thread direction on both ends and an adjustable straight layout.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV800049 and TRW JAR1176 for the same application. It is a strong fitment match for Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Forester, and Saab 9-2X inner steering repair where OE-style dimensions matter. Delphi’s OE testing includes exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, supporting consistent performance in demanding steering environments.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel from worn inner tie rod components
• Steering play caused by joint wear in the front linkage
• Uneven toe settings that affect alignment stability
• Clunking or knocking from worn steering connection points
• Restoration of proper steering response after suspension or steering service

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy, inner
• Fits 2010-2014 Subaru Outback, inner
• Fits 2004-2011 Subaru Impreza, inner
• Fits 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, inner
• Fits 2005 Saab 9-2X, inner
• Fits 2005 Subaru Impreza, inner, from 04/2005
• Fits 2003 Subaru Impreza, inner, from 10/2002

Verify the vehicle’s steering configuration and alignment requirements before installation. Because this is an inner steering component, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and position against the original part before service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-oriented dimensional and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts and subjects components to temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray testing. That approach supports fit consistency and durability for Subaru and Saab steering applications. Part number TA3050 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for steering service.
