Detailed Product Description

The Delphi TA5284 steering tie rod end is a standard replacement part crafted to meet the specifications of the Acura Legend steering system. Its steel housing and tie rod construction provide strength and resistance to wear, while the coated black finish helps prevent corrosion over time. The straight, adjustable design allows for precise alignment adjustments, essential for maintaining proper steering geometry. Both ends have male threads with different diameters (16.0 mm and 14.0 mm) and thread pitches (1.25 and 1.5), ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s steering components. The bearing material, polyoxymethylen (POM), supports smooth articulation and reduces friction during steering movements.
