OE-Style Steering Construction

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio, helping ensure proper part-to-vehicle matching. This tie rod end is engineered with a steel housing, polyoxymethylene bearing material, and a coated exterior to support consistent steering linkage service. It cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801229 for the same application.

Compatible with 2015 Hyundai Sonata, left outer; 2016-2018 Kia Optima, left outer; and 2016-2018 Kia Sorento, left outer. Delphi TA5446 is a direct-fit steering tie rod end for these front left outer applications.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

  • Excessive play in the steering linkage
  • Loose or wandering steering feel
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
  • Clunking or knocking from the front steering area
  • Steering response that no longer tracks accurately

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before installation, since this part is listed for the front left outer / left outer location only. Confirm thread direction, thread diameters, and overall dimensions against the removed part before service. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and subjects parts to 720 hours of salt spray exposure. These validation steps support OE-style durability and corrosion resistance for the TA5446 steering tie rod end.
