Detailed Description

Delphi TA5239 is an inner tie rod end designed for steering systems that require accurate linkage geometry and dependable connection at the rack. It measures 266.0 mm in length, uses a male threaded end, and features a high strength steel housing for structural support. The part is a standard replacement option for drivers servicing the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300, inner position, and it cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and MOOG Chassis Products EV800442 for the same application. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility between the original steering component and the aftermarket replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel from worn inner tie rod wear
• Steering play caused by excess linkage movement
• Uneven steering response during lane changes or cornering
• Clunking or knocking noises from the steering rack area
• Restoring steering geometry after tie rod service on a Lexus IS300

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA5239 at the inner steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before installation to confirm correct alignment with the steering rack and outer linkage. Because dust boot is not included, inspect the existing boot condition and replace it if damaged. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering tracking and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray evaluation, to validate durability for aftermarket service. The brand’s OE background and dimensional analysis support consistent part matching for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300, inner steering repair.
