Detailed Description

The Delphi TL2027 steering tie rod end assembly is engineered for left-side steering linkage replacement on 2003-2006 Porsche Cayenne, 2008-2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2004-2017 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2007-2015 Audi Q7. Delphi applies OE-level testing and dimensional analysis to help ensure proper thread fit, steering geometry alignment, and material compatibility for the listed applications. The TL2027 part number is a practical choice when replacing worn steering components on Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg, or Audi Q7 models that require a left-side straight tie rod end.

This Delphi TL2027 assembly uses a steel tie rod with a chloroprene rubber dust boot and a corrosion-resistant cataphoresis finish. It measures 351.0 mm from stud center to end, with 14.0 mm / 0.551 in. end 1 thread diameter and 16.0 mm / 0.63 in. end 2 thread diameter, both with 1.5 pitch and clockwise thread direction. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6837 and Dorman - Premium TA43083PR for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or play in the steering linkage
• Uneven front-end steering feel after tie rod wear
• Threaded connection wear at the steering linkage end
• Corrosion-related replacement needs on the left side

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left-side application, thread diameter, pitch, and overall length before installation. After replacing the tie rod end, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Confirm the steering knuckle and mating threads are clean and free of damage before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support consistent fit and performance. The TL2027 is a standard replacement steering tie rod end assembly for the listed Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg, and Audi Q7 applications.
