Detailed Description

Delphi TA5459 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the inner position on select Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima models. It features a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a polyoxymethylene (POM) bearing material for stable steering linkage operation. The part is pre-greased, uses male threaded ends, and includes a coated finish to help resist harsh operating conditions. Delphi validates its steering components through temperature and salt-spray testing and uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-level fit and function. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-8129 and MOOG Chassis Products EV801066 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part May Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the inner tie rod
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Imprecise steering feel during lane changes or turns
• Failed inspection due to worn front steering hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm inner tie rod length, thread diameter, and thread pitch before installation. Delphi TA5459 uses clockwise thread direction on both ends, with an adjustable straight design and a 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter and 16.0 mm end 1 thread diameter. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry. Verify fitment for your specific Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima year and steering configuration before service.
