Help bring back precise, controlled steering for your compact with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End (TA2038), an inner tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1996-2000 Honda Civic. It links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transmitting steering input to the wheel and helping keep the 1996-2000 Honda Civic tie rod connection tight and responsive.
Delphi builds on its OE steering expertise, testing parts to the extreme for OE-level performance: they withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, while extensive dimensional and material analysis targets close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
- Micron-tolerance ball stud: the stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to guard against failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
- Accessories included: Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
Signs an inner tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, play in the joint, uneven tire wear, or a clunk from the steering. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
