Delphi TA6406 Steering Tie Rod End - Outer

Delphi TA6406 Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA6406 is a straight outer steering tie rod end built as a standard replacement for select Suzuki applications. It uses a steel housing and steel tie rod construction, with a coated black finish and pre-greased design for service-ready installation.

Compatible with 1995-2002 Suzuki Esteem outer steering applications and select Suzuki Swift outer steering applications, this Delphi tie rod end is engineered with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper fit and steering response. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-4213 for the same application.

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Excessive play at the outer steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering components
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Steering response that no longer tracks accurately

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, outer position, and the 1997 Suzuki Swift VIN note before ordering. Compare thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length to the removed part before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio and tests components across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero temperatures, high heat, and extended salt spray exposure. That validation supports consistent fitment and durability for everyday steering service.
