OE-Style Steering Replacement

Delphi TA5497 is engineered as a straight inner tie rod end with a 15.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, 14.0 mm end 1 thread diameter, and 1.5 thread pitch at both ends. The part uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and POM bearing material to support consistent steering linkage operation. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-to-aftermarket compatibility, and the part is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure as part of its steering portfolio validation. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7610 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

  • Loose or vague steering feel
  • Excessive play in the inner steering linkage
  • Uneven tire wear related to steering wear
  • Clunking or knocking from the steering system
  • Alignment issues after tie rod wear

Installation Notes

Install Delphi TA5497 on the inner steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before installation, then complete a professional wheel alignment after replacement. The part is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting or dust boot.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and durability testing for its steering components, including exposure to sub-zero and high-temperature conditions plus extended salt spray testing. Delphi TA5497 is built for standard replacement service on 2006-2008 Lexus RX400h and 2006-2007 Toyota Highlander inner steering applications.
