Help keep your steering tight and your wheels tracking true with the Delphi tie rod built on the brand's OE safety technology — the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA3251. This outer tie rod end installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 2003-2007 Toyota Highlander, 2007-2009 Lexus RX350 and 2006-2008 Lexus RX400h (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details).
