Detailed Description

Delphi TA3189 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the left outer position. It uses a high-strength steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. The unit is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting, which supports a sealed-service design.

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility with the original steering geometry. The part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to verify durability in demanding conditions. This makes TA3189 a direct-fit steering service part for Lexus CT200h, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Prius Plug-In applications listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7671 and MOOG Chassis Products ES800842 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play at the left outer tie rod end
• Clunking or looseness from worn steering linkage components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering joint wear
• Loose or imprecise front-end steering feel
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA3189 at the left outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the removed part before alignment work begins. Because this component affects toe settings, a professional wheel alignment is required after installation. Inspect the adjacent steering linkage and related suspension parts for wear while the system is apart.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-focused engineering practices, including dimensional and material validation and environmental testing for temperature and corrosion resistance. The part is built to support consistent steering performance in the listed Lexus and Toyota applications.
