Detailed Description

Delphi TA3160 is engineered for steering systems that require a front inner tie rod end with OE-style dimensional accuracy. The steel housing, steel tie rod material, and POM bearing material support durable operation in demanding steering environments. Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing to help confirm material integrity and corrosion resistance. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6330 for the same application.

For Lexus IS250 and Lexus IS350 front inner steering service, as well as Lexus GS350 and Lexus GS430 applications, TA3160 provides a direct replacement option that matches the required thread directions, thread diameters, and adjustable straight layout. The Delphi TA3160 is also listed for Lexus IS F, GS450h, and GS460 front inner use.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Uneven front tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Restoring proper toe adjustment after steering service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front inner fitment by year, make, model, and steering position before installation. The part is adjustable and uses clockwise thread direction on both ends, with mounting hardware included. Because no dust boot or grease fitting is included, inspect the surrounding steering components, boots, and alignment settings during service. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio and subjects parts to temperature and corrosion testing to support consistent performance. Part number TA3160 is built as a standard replacement steering component for Lexus front inner applications.
