Detailed Description

Delphi TA5291 is engineered for steering systems that need a direct replacement drag link with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis. Delphi applies its aftermarket steering expertise to this part, with testing that includes extreme temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That level of validation supports consistent performance in demanding driving conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1427 for the same application.

Compatible With 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500, 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 2500, 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 3500, 1996-2002 GMC Savana 1500, 1996-2002 GMC Savana 2500, and 1996-2002 GMC Savana 3500. If you are replacing a worn steering drag link on a Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana, Delphi TA5291 provides an OE-style service part for the listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Steering play caused by a worn drag link
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Clunking or knocking from steering linkage wear
• Grease loss at the steering joint area
• Corrosion-related wear in exposed steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing drag link dimensions, stud thread size, and mounting points before installation. Inspect related steering linkage components for wear at the same time, and align the vehicle after replacing steering linkage parts. For best results, follow the vehicle service procedure and torque specifications for the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation to support fit and function across its steering portfolio. TA5291 is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure to help confirm durability in real-world conditions.
