Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod (Steering Tie Rod End, MPN TA1974), a direct-fit outer tie rod end for the 2005-2010 Scion tC and 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4. Cataloged for the left outer and right outer positions, it connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so driver input reaches the wheel while the joint accommodates suspension movement.
Delphi builds on OE steering expertise developed across millions of vehicles worldwide:
- OE-level testing: validated below -40°C and above 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Precision ball studs: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: each tie rod is fatigue tested to help guard against failure.
- Corrosion protected: anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance. Includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
Worn or loose steering, play in the wheel, or uneven tire wear are signs an outer tie rod end may need replacing; if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced steering. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
