• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from worn tie rod components
• Restoration of steering response after front-end wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s GVW or axle configuration before ordering, since fitment is limited to the listed 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications. Inspect the adjacent steering linkage, alignment angles, and related wear points during replacement. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to help restore proper steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE engineering experience to its aftermarket steering portfolio and validates parts through dimensional and material analysis for OE-style compatibility. The TA2797 is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate corrosion resistance and durability.
