Delphi TA6420 Steering Tie Rod End - Left Outer

OE-Style Left Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA6420 is a steering tie rod end for the left outer position on select Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S models. Built as a standard replacement part, it follows OE dimensional and material analysis for consistent steering geometry and fit.

Delphi applies OE-focused testing to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt spray testing. That approach supports dependable performance in demanding road conditions for the Delphi TA6420 and helps maintain proper steering response on the Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S.

Detailed Description

Delphi TA6420 is engineered for steering systems that require a left outer tie rod end with OE-style compatibility and stable material construction. The steel housing, steel tie rod, and coated finish support long-term durability, while the pre-greased design helps simplify service work. Delphi’s OE testing process includes temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure, to validate performance under harsh conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Uneven front-end steering response
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Front-end alignment issues caused by steering wear
• Restoration of steering linkage integrity on compatible Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S applications
