Detailed Description

Delphi TA3074 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the front left outer position on select Mazda CX-9 and Mazda CX-7 models. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and consistent compatibility with the original steering geometry. The bent design, threaded stud, female end configuration, and clockwise thread direction support a direct replacement installation on the specified applications. This part number, TA3074, is a practical choice when replacing worn steering linkage components on a Mazda CX-9 or Mazda CX-7.

Built with a steel housing and steel tie rod, this Delphi tie rod end comes pre-greased and includes a dust boot made from chloroprene rubber (CR). The coated finish helps protect the component, while the included mounting hardware supports a complete service replacement. Delphi also subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing to verify durability across demanding conditions.

Common Repair Reasons

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Front-end play or wandering during driving
• Uneven tire wear linked to worn steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension area
• Restoring proper alignment after tie rod end wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA3074 at the front left outer steering position only on the listed Mazda CX-9 and Mazda CX-7 applications. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to verify toe settings and steering wheel center. Inspect the mating steering components, boot condition, and thread engagement before final tightening. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800601 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis to support fit and function in aftermarket steering parts. The component is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation.
