Delphi TA2796 Steering Drag Link - Outer or Right Outer

Delphi Steering Drag Link TA2796

Delphi TA2796 is a standard replacement steering drag link built from steel with a black finish for direct-service steering repair. It is engineered for OE-style dimensional and material compatibility, with testing that covers extreme temperature exposure and long-duration salt spray resistance.

Compatible with select Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 applications, this drag link supports steering linkage service on the outer and right outer positions where specified by the vehicle application.

Key Features

• Steel construction for steering linkage durability
• Black finish
• Standard replacement steering drag link
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency
• Tested for temperatures below -40 C and above 120 C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation
• Mounting hardware included
• Position-specific fitment for outer and right outer applications

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2796 is designed for steering systems that require a direct replacement drag link with OE-style geometry and material selection. The steel body, 33.268-inch overall length, 32.382-inch centerline length, 1.772-inch maximum diameter, and 18.9 mm stud thread diameter support accurate replacement in the intended steering layout. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain compatibility with the original steering component design, while its validation process addresses temperature extremes and corrosion exposure common in real-world driving conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1460 and Dorman Premium TC81024PR for the same application. For Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 steering repair, TA2796 provides a direct-service option for the specified outer and right outer positions.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play caused by a worn drag link
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Clunking or movement in the steering linkage
• Corrosion-related wear in the steering connection
• Restoring proper linkage geometry after steering service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application, steering position, and side before installation. This part is listed for 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, outer and right outer; 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 2500, outer; 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 3500, outer; 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, right outer; and 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500, right outer. Confirm thread size, mounting hole diameter, and centerline length against the removed component to ensure correct steering linkage alignment. After installation, inspect steering geometry and perform a professional alignment as required by the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including extreme-temperature testing and salt-spray exposure validation. TA2796 is built to support consistent replacement quality for steering service on Dodge Ram applications.
