Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod end TA6401, an inner steering tie rod end that links the steering gear to the tie rod and transmits your steering input to the front wheels. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester and the 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact engine and configuration.
What sets this Delphi tie rod end apart:
OE-grade validation: built on Delphi's OE steering expertise and tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: the tie rod is fatigue tested to help guard against premature failure.
Corrosion protection: an anti-corrosion treatment is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn signs this inner tie rod end may need replacing include steering play or looseness, a knocking feel through the wheel, and uneven front tire wear.
