Delphi Steering Tie Rod End Assembly P/N:TL462
$71.99

Keep your steering crisp and responsive with the Delphi tie rod (TL462), a left inner steering tie rod end assembly that connects the steering linkage to help translate steering-wheel input into wheel movement. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. If a worn or loose left inner joint is behind your play in the wheel, uneven tire wear, or wandering, this Delphi tie rod end is the piece that replaces it.

  • Delphi OE steering expertise: drawn from OE safety technology fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, then tested to the extreme — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray.
  • Precision ball studs: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to guard against failure, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
  • Complete job: includes the necessary accessories for installation.

Left and right inner joints share the same wear; inspect both and replace as directed by your service procedure for balanced steering.
