Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5696
Keep your steering tight and precise with the Delphi tie rod end (P/N: TA2052), a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2009 Kia Sorento. This is the left inner unit, cataloged for that position; its pivoting ball stud links the steering linkage so wheel motion transfers cleanly to the knuckle. When a worn tie rod end is the cause, replacing it can help address play in the steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, and knocking when turning.
A tie rod end wears in pairs, so inspect and, if needed, replace the matching side for balanced steering. Always confirm fitment for your Kia Sorento tie rod application.
