Delphi TA5245 Steering Pitman Arm - Front

Delphi TA5245 Steering Pitman Arm

The Delphi TA5245 steering pitman arm is a standard replacement part built for front steering applications on select Mazda B2000, Mazda B2200, and Ford Courier models. It uses OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fitment and steering response in classic compact truck applications.

Key Features

• Steel construction for strength in steering service
• 39-spline steering shaft interface
• 5.866 in. overall length
• 0.984 in. / 25.0 mm steering shaft diameter
• 15.3 mm center link end attachment diameter
• Pre-greased design
• Gray finish
• Front position application
• Standard replacement grade

Detailed Description

Delphi TA5245 is a front steering pitman arm engineered for vehicles that require a direct replacement with OE-style dimensional accuracy. It is made from steel, is pre-greased, and is not greaseable, which keeps the design straightforward for standard replacement service. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt spray evaluation, to verify durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K9138 for the same application.

Compatible With 1981-1984 Mazda B2000, front; 1982-1984 Mazda B2200, front; and 1980-1982 Ford Courier, front. The Delphi TA5245 is a practical choice when replacing a worn steering pitman arm on these compact truck platforms, including front steering service on Mazda B2000 and Mazda B2200 models.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play caused by a worn pitman arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering wheel response
• Steering linkage movement from spline or joint wear
• Front-end steering noise related to a deteriorated arm
• Restoration of proper steering linkage geometry on classic trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, steering shaft diameter, and center link attachment dimensions before installation. Inspect the steering linkage, idler arm, and related front-end components for wear at the same time, since a new pitman arm will not correct damage elsewhere in the system. Confirm front-position application and match the vehicle exactly to the listed fitment for Mazda B2000, Mazda B2200, or Ford Courier.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based engineering and extensive material and dimensional analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio. The TA5245 is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance to support consistent performance in steering service.
