Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1218

$27.99

Description

Keep steering input precise and your front tires tracking true with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA1218, the left outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the knuckle and helps set toe alignment. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1990 Acura Legend, 1987-1988 Sterling 825, and 1989-1991 Sterling 827 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.

Drawing on Delphi's OE steering expertise fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, this joint is validated against extremes: it withstands temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endures 720 hours of salt spray, while extensive dimensional and material analysis targets close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.

Micron-tolerance ball stud: machined to fine tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: cycle-tested to guard against premature failure.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.
Complete job: includes the necessary accessories for installation.

Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk over bumps or when turning, and uneven or accelerated tire wear. If a failed left outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — have the alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the Delphi TA1218 fit?

It fits the 1986-1990 Acura Legend, 1987-1988 Sterling 825, and 1989-1991 Sterling 827. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.

What position is this tie rod end?

This is the left outer tie rod end. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle on that side and helps set the toe angle.

What does a steering tie rod end do?

It transfers steering input from the linkage to the knuckle to turn the wheel and helps maintain toe alignment. As a pivoting joint, it allows movement while keeping the connection tight.

What are signs my tie rod end may need replacing?

Common signs include loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning or over bumps, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can stem from other worn parts.

Does it include installation accessories?

Yes, Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Consult the vehicle service information for correct torque and alignment, and have the toe checked after installation.
