Detailed Description

Delphi TA5431 is a steering tie rod end designed for the front inner position on the 2003-2007 Honda Accord. It measures 144.0 mm in overall length, with a 104.0 mm stud-center-to-end length, and uses a straight, adjustable layout to match the steering linkage geometry required for this application. Delphi’s OE-oriented dimensional and material checks help support accurate replacement fitment for Honda Accord steering service.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV80209 for the same application. If you are replacing worn steering linkage components on a Honda Accord, TA5431 provides a direct replacement option for front inner steering repair.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play or looseness at the front inner linkage
• Clunking or knocking from worn tie rod components
• Uneven steering response caused by worn steering joints
• Front-end alignment issues related to steering linkage wear
• Corrosion-related replacement needs on exposed steering parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2003-2007 Honda Accord, inner. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the original part before installation. Because this is an adjustable steering component, an alignment check is recommended after replacement to restore proper toe settings and steering wheel position. TA5431 includes mounting hardware and arrives pre-greased, while the design does not include a grease fitting or dust boot.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering part with OE-focused engineering and validation. The component is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure, and Delphi’s compatibility work is based on dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style replacement performance.
