Detailed Description

Delphi TA3652 is engineered as a front inner steering tie rod end for the 2018-2023 Kia Rio and 2018-2022 Hyundai Accent. The straight, adjustable design supports steering linkage replacement where the original inner tie rod has worn, loosened, or developed play. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain correct compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering geometry.

Built with a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a painted black finish, this TA3652 tie rod end is pre-greased and configured with clockwise right-hand threads on both ends. The part is intended for power steering applications and uses a threaded stud with hex head drive type for serviceability.

Common Repair Uses

• Steering wheel play or looseness from worn inner tie rod components
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Loose or inconsistent steering feel during low-speed maneuvers
• Restoring front inner steering linkage function on Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is equipped with front inner steering linkage service before ordering. Match the thread direction, overall length, and steering type to the original part. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore proper toe settings and steering tracking. Because this part is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting, routine lubrication service is not required at the fitting level.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing, to evaluate durability under demanding conditions. The brand’s OE-focused engineering approach supports consistent replacement quality for the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent applications listed above.
