Detailed Description

Delphi TA5573 is engineered as an OE-style inner tie rod end for steering systems that require accurate dimensional match and dependable material quality. Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing, then applies that OE development experience to aftermarket replacement parts. The result is a steering linkage component built for proper compatibility on the specified Kia Soul and Kia Soul EV applications.

This part number, TA5573, features a 16.0 mm thread diameter at both ends, a 1.5 thread pitch on the end 2 side, and a length of 199.0 mm (7.835 in). The black coated finish, steel construction, and POM bearing material support durable service in the inner steering position. Use TA5573 when replacing a worn inner tie rod end on a Kia Soul or Kia Soul EV with the listed fitment.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Clunking or looseness in the steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Alignment instability after steering component wear
• Restoration of steering response on Kia Soul and Kia Soul EV models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA5573 on the inner steering position only and verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before assembly. Because this part is adjustable, a professional wheel alignment is required after installation. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for 2014-2019 Kia Soul, 2015-2017 Kia Soul EV, and 2018-2019 Kia Soul EV applications, including the 09/28/2018 cutoff for the later Soul EV listing.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio and subjects parts to temperature and corrosion testing for durability validation. TA5573 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end built to support OE-level fit and function in the listed Kia applications.
