Detailed Description

Delphi TA6317 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the right outer side of the front steering linkage. It is built with a bent profile, steel housing, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. The part is pre-greased and does not require a grease fitting, which supports straightforward service replacement. Delphi validates its steering components through extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to help maintain OE-style fit and function. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7939 for the same application. Delphi TA6317 is a direct-fit option for drivers servicing steering wear on Kia Forte, Forte5, and Forte Koup models.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Clunking or play from the right outer steering linkage
• Uneven front tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Steering response that feels delayed or imprecise
• Inspection failure due to excessive tie rod end movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2014-2018 Kia Forte, right outer. Fits 2014-2018 Kia Forte5, right outer. Fits 2014-2016 Kia Forte Koup, right outer. Confirm alignment after installation, since replacing a tie rod end changes steering geometry.
