Delphi Steering Tie Rod End Assembly P/N:TL294
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.
Left and right inner joints share the same wear; inspect both and replace as directed by your service procedure for balanced steering.
