Detailed Description

Delphi TA5035 is engineered as a standard replacement inner tie rod end for steering systems that require precise linkage movement and stable alignment. The straight, adjustable layout helps match OE geometry, while the steel housing, steel tie rod material, and POM bearing material support durable operation under demanding road conditions. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing, then verifies dimensions and materials to maintain close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4410 and MOOG Chassis Products EV800296 for the same application. It is a strong match for Acura RL, Acura TL, and Honda Prelude front inner steering service, including TA5035 replacement needs on select vehicles.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play at the inner tie rod
• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Uneven front tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the steering rack area
• Alignment instability after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and vehicle-specific fitment before installation. TA5035 uses clockwise thread direction on both ends, with 14.0 mm thread diameter at each end and an adjustable straight design. Because this is an inner steering component, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement. Verify the chassis serial note for 1998 Acura TL applications before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt-spray exposure. The result is a replacement inner tie rod end built to support dependable steering performance in the Acura RL, Acura TL, and Honda Prelude applications listed above.
