Detailed Description

The Delphi TA3209 steering tie rod end is engineered for the right outer position and built to match OE dimensional and material requirements. Delphi applies its OE-focused steering expertise to the aftermarket, using dimensional and material analysis to support proper compatibility with the original steering system. The part is tested across extreme temperatures from below -40 degrees C to over 120 degrees C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7064 for the same application.

Compatible With Lexus IS300, right outer; Lexus IS350, right outer; Lexus IS200t, right outer; Lexus IS250, right outer; Lexus IS F, right outer; Lexus GS350, right outer; Lexus GS450h, right outer; Lexus GS460, right outer; Lexus GS430, right outer; and Lexus GS300, right outer. Delphi TA3209 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for Lexus IS350 and Lexus GS steering service where OE-style geometry and thread specifications are required.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

• Excessive steering play at the front right outer linkage
• Clunking or looseness from worn tie rod end joints
• Uneven front tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Imprecise steering feel or wandering at the wheel
• Failed inspection due to worn steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s right outer steering position before ordering, since fitment is position-specific. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and thread pitch against the original part to ensure proper installation on the Lexus steering linkage. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and validation methods for its steering portfolio, including dimensional checks and environmental testing for temperature and corrosion resistance. The TA3209 is built as a standard replacement part for consistent fit and function in supported Lexus applications.
