Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TA5400 is built for steering service where precise end-to-end dimensions matter. The part uses a female end 2, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a bent body style to match the original steering layout on covered vehicles. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, helping verify durability in harsh road conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6986 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part May Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Steering wheel off-center after suspension service
• Restoring proper toe adjustment on the front axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer fitment against the vehicle application before installation. Because this part is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting, no routine greasing is required. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to set toe and confirm steering wheel position. Confirm thread direction, stud style, and dimensions against the removed part when servicing Toyota Highlander, Toyota Venza, Lexus RX350, or Lexus RX450h steering systems.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-level engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency. The part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding service conditions.
