Detailed Description

Delphi TA3069 is a steering tie rod end for the front left outer location on 2001-2006 Acura MDX and 2003-2008 Honda Pilot models. Delphi applies OE-level engineering practices to its aftermarket steering line, including dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original steering geometry. The component is pre-greased, non-greaseable, and uses a dust boot made from chloroprene rubber to help protect internal components from contamination.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA3069 only on the confirmed front left outer position for the listed Acura MDX and Honda Pilot applications. After replacement, have the front end inspected and the alignment checked, since tie rod service can change toe settings. Verify thread direction, stud fitment, and overall length against the removed part before final tightening.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray testing. These validation steps support OE-style performance expectations for the aftermarket steering portfolio.
