Detailed Description

Delphi TA904 is an outer steering tie rod end engineered for vehicles that need accurate steering linkage restoration. The steel tie rod material, plastic bearing material, and chloroprene rubber dust boot are selected to support stable operation at the steering knuckle connection. This part number TA904 is a direct-fit style standard replacement for applications that call for a straight outer tie rod end with 14.0 mm and 10.0 mm thread diameters, clockwise thread direction, and a 1.5 mm / 1.25 mm thread pitch combination.

For shoppers searching for an outer tie rod end for Honda Civic or Acura Integra steering repair, Delphi TA904 provides an OE-informed replacement option. It is built for vehicles that need restored steering feel, reduced play at the front suspension linkage, and consistent alignment retention after tie rod service.

This part cross-references ES2287RL for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Steering wheel play caused by worn outer tie rod joints
• Clunking or looseness in the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear related to steering end wear
• Alignment instability after suspension or steering service
• Loose or imprecise road feel at the steering wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TA904 on the outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread pitch, and stud style before installation, and inspect the mating inner tie rod, steering knuckle, and alignment settings at the same time. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct toe settings and steering response.

Because this is a non-greaseable design with a dust boot included, confirm the boot seats properly and that all fasteners are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. This helps maintain steering precision on compatible Honda Civic and Acura Integra applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE safety technology and aftermarket steering validation based on dimensional and material analysis. Its steering components are tested for extreme temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt spray exposure, to support durability in real-world driving conditions.
