Detailed Description

Delphi TA2824 steering pitman arm is built to replace worn or damaged steering linkage components on compatible Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango models. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit between the steering shaft and center link connection, while the steel construction is tested for demanding temperature extremes and extended salt-spray exposure. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K7240 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn pitman arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering response
• Clunking or knocking in the steering linkage
• Improper steering linkage alignment caused by component wear
• Grease retention issues in a serviceable steering joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, shaft diameter, and center link attachment dimensions before installation. Inspect the steering linkage, center link, and related front-end components for wear before replacing the pitman arm. After installation, confirm steering wheel center and perform a proper alignment check.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering components through OE-focused testing, including exposure to temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray. That testing supports durability expectations for daily driving and harsh-weather service on Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango steering systems.
