Delphi TA3051 Front Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA3051 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built for front outer applications on select Honda and Acura vehicles. It combines a steel housing, coated finish, pre-greased construction, and a dust boot to support precise steering response and consistent joint protection.

Key Features

• Front outer steering tie rod end for select applications
• Steel housing with coated finish and black exterior
• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting required
• Dust boot included with chloroprene rubber material
• Mounting hardware included
• Straight, non-adjustable design
• Threaded stud with clockwise thread direction on both ends

Detailed Description

Delphi TA3051 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front outer position. It features a steel tie rod body, plastic bearing material, and a threaded stud design with a 12 mm end 1 thread diameter and 14 mm end 2 thread diameter. The unit is pre-greased and sealed with a dust boot to help protect the joint from contamination during everyday driving.

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and its parts are tested across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions. This tie rod end is a direct service part for vehicles such as the 2003-2011 Honda Element and 2002-2006 Acura RSX. Delphi TA3051 also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES80995 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Front-end play caused by worn outer tie rod joints
• Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Restoring steering response after suspension service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA3051 at the front outer steering position only. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to verify toe settings and steering wheel centering. Confirm thread direction, stud dimensions, and vehicle-side fitment before installation on the Honda Element or Acura RSX.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components through dimensional and material checks, plus exposure testing for temperature extremes and salt spray resistance. That OE-focused testing approach supports consistent fit and durability for everyday steering service.
