Delphi TA5260 Steering Tie Rod End - Right Outer

OE-Style Steering Tie Rod End

Delphi TA5260 is a steering tie rod end built for the right outer position on select Acura RL models. It combines OE-based dimensional analysis with materials chosen for demanding steering service, making it a direct replacement for worn front-end steering components on 2005-2012 Acura RL, right outer applications.

Delphi tests steering parts across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions to help maintain OE-level performance in real-world use. The TA5260 is pre-greased, includes a dust boot, and uses a coated high-strength steel housing with a bent design for the specified fitment.

Detailed Description

Delphi TA5260 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the right outer side of the Acura RL. The part uses a steel tie rod construction, a high-strength steel housing, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to support steering joint protection and consistent operation. Delphi’s OE-focused manufacturing approach includes dimensional and material analysis to help match the original part’s fit and function. This makes TA5260 a practical choice when replacing a worn outer tie rod on 2005-2012 Acura RL models.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6823 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or play from a damaged outer tie rod end
• Steering pull or poor alignment retention after component wear
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA5260 on the right outer steering position only. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Verify thread direction, stud fit, and overall dimensions against the removed part before installation on your Acura RL.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand’s OE-focused testing and dimensional checks support consistent replacement quality for 2005-2012 Acura RL steering service.
