Detailed Description

The Delphi TA5617 steering tie rod end is a standard replacement part for the left outer steering position. It is designed for select 2015-2020 Acura TLX and 2013-2017 Honda Accord models, making it a direct-fit option for drivers servicing front-end steering components on these vehicles. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering geometry. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801001 for the same application.

Built with a steel housing, steel tie rod, and coated finish, the TA5617 is pre-greased and uses a threaded stud design with clockwise thread direction on both ends. The bent configuration, standard replacement grade, and included mounting hardware support a straightforward steering service on the specified Acura TLX and Honda Accord fitments. Delphi TA5617 is a practical choice when replacing a worn left outer tie rod end that can affect steering precision and alignment stability.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front left outer position
• Uneven tire wear related to worn steering linkage components
• Clunking or play from a deteriorated tie rod end
• Steering pull caused by excessive joint wear
• Alignment issues after steering component replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2015-2020 Acura TLX, Left Outer. Fits 2013-2017 Honda Accord, Left Outer. Confirm the vehicle’s steering position before ordering, since this part is listed for the front left outer/left outer application. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and cone dimensions against the original part during service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing. The TA5617 also reflects Delphi’s OE-focused engineering approach for aftermarket steering parts, with attention to dimensional accuracy and material compatibility.
