Detailed Description

Delphi TA6441 is an inner tie rod end for steering systems that require a direct replacement part with OE-focused dimensions and materials. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature testing from below -40 degrees C to over 120 degrees C, along with extended salt spray exposure, to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This part is built with a steel housing and steel tie rod, while the bearing material is plastic and the unit arrives pre-greased for installation.

Compatible With 2013-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, inner; 2014-2015 Kia Sorento, inner; and 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, inner. This Delphi TA6441 application coverage makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn inner steering linkage on these vehicles. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV801212 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Steering wheel play caused by worn inner tie rod components
• Clunking or looseness in the front steering linkage
• Uneven steering response from excessive linkage wear
• Inspection failures related to steering component wear
• Restoration of proper steering geometry after tie rod service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA6441 on the inner steering linkage position only. Verify thread direction, overall length, and end dimensions before installation, especially on Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and Kia Sorento steering repairs. Because this part is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation to confirm steering wheel centering and toe settings.

Mounting hardware is included. The part is pre-greased, so no grease fitting is provided. Confirm that the existing outer tie rod and related steering components are in serviceable condition before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE expertise in its aftermarket steering portfolio and validates parts through dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency. TA6441 is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure to support durability in real-world steering service.
