Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1981
Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1981
$24.99

Keep your steering tight and predictable with the Delphi tie rod (Inner Tie Rod End, MPN TA1981) — a direct-fit replacement that links the steering gear to the outer tie rod so your inputs reach the wheels. It drops in on the 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2001 Hyundai XG300, 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350, 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, and 2001-2006 Kia Optima. If you searched for a Hyundai Sonata tie rod after noticing loose steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning, a worn inner joint may be the cause and this replaces it.

  • OE-derived engineering: built on Delphi's OE steering expertise, tested from below -40°C to over 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Micron-machined ball stud: studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: tie rods are fatigue tested to guard against failure.
  • Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion treatment applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
