Detailed Description

Delphi TA5401 is engineered as a front right outer steering tie rod end for 2008-2019 Toyota Highlander, 2009-2016 Toyota Venza, 2010-2015 Lexus RX350, and 2010-2015 Lexus RX450h. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the replacement part matches the original steering geometry and installation requirements. The unit is pre-greased, uses a chloroprene rubber dust boot, and features a steel housing with a coated finish for durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800534 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues It May Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front right wheel
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Excessive play in the outer tie rod connection
• Steering pull related to worn front suspension linkage

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and right outer position before installation. The TA5401 uses a bent design, threaded stud connection, and clockwise thread direction at both ends. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore proper steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses OE-level dimensional and material checks to support consistent aftermarket fit and performance. The TA5401 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for Toyota Highlander, Toyota Venza, Lexus RX350, and Lexus RX450h steering service.
