Detailed Description

Delphi TA3332 is engineered for steering systems that require a front left outer tie rod end with OE-style dimensions and material matching. It features a bent design, threaded stud construction, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, supporting durability in harsh operating conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 23449522) for the same application.

Compatible With 2016-2022 Chevrolet Malibu, left outer; 2018-2020 Buick Regal Sportback, left outer; 2018-2020 Buick Regal TourX, left outer; and 2017-2019 Buick LaCrosse, left outer. For shoppers searching for a Chevrolet Malibu front left outer tie rod end or a Buick LaCrosse steering tie rod end replacement, TA3332 provides a direct-fit service part option.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel from a worn outer tie rod end
• Clunking or play at the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Steering response issues from joint wear or contamination
• Replacement needs after inspection of the front left outer steering linkage

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and left outer position before installation. Because this is a non-adjustable tie rod end, alignment should be checked after replacement to confirm steering wheel centering and toe settings. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and stud dimensions against the original part before assembly. TA3332 is a direct replacement for select Chevrolet Malibu and Buick steering applications, including Malibu, Regal Sportback, Regal TourX, and LaCrosse models listed above.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation to support fit and function in aftermarket steering parts. The TA3332 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.
