Detailed Description

The Delphi TA5024 steering tie rod end is engineered as an OE-style outer replacement for the steering system. Delphi applies the same dimensional and material analysis used in its OE programs to help ensure proper compatibility between the original part and the aftermarket replacement. This part number, TA5024, is built with a steel housing, steel tie rod material, a coated finish, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to support long-term steering service on vehicles such as the Toyota Supra and Toyota Celica.

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt spray. That testing supports dependable performance in demanding road conditions while maintaining the steering feel expected from an OE replacement. This Delphi TA5024 outer tie rod end is a direct-fit style service part for the listed Toyota applications.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4049 for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or play in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Steering response that feels delayed or imprecise
• Visible wear at the outer tie rod end or dust boot

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1982-1985 Toyota Celica, outer. Fits 1986 Toyota Supra, outer, to 01/1986. Verify thread size, thread direction, and steering linkage measurements before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore correct toe settings and steering geometry. The TA5024 is pre-greased and greaseable, so service intervals can be maintained according to vehicle requirements.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis to support fit and function in its aftermarket steering portfolio. The TA5024 is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to help confirm durability in real-world conditions.
