Detailed Product Information

Delphi TA2408 is engineered as a steering pitman arm for vehicles that use a 32-spline steering shaft interface and standard ride height. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray testing, to verify durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K8688 for the same application.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

• Excessive steering play caused by a worn pitman arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering response at the steering gear connection
• Clunking or movement in the steering linkage
• Wear at the steering shaft interface from age and mileage
• Corrosion-related deterioration in the steering arm assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, steering shaft diameter, and overall length before installation. Inspect the steering linkage, gear box connection, and related components for wear before replacing the pitman arm. Use the included castle nut during installation and follow the vehicle service procedure for proper alignment and torque specifications. After installation, a front-end alignment is recommended whenever steering linkage components are replaced.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering and material validation to its aftermarket steering portfolio. The TA2408 is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure, with dimensional checks used to support fit and compatibility with the original steering system design.
