Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn pitman arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering response
• Clunking or movement in the steering linkage
• Wear at the steering shaft or center link connection points
• Service issues caused by a dry or non-greaseable arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, steering shaft diameter, and center link end dimensions before installation. Inspect the steering linkage, idler arm, and related front-end components for wear at the same time, since a worn companion part can affect steering feel after replacement. Use the included castle nut during installation and follow the vehicle service procedure for proper alignment and torque.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and testing for its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing to evaluate durability. The TA5429 is built as a standard replacement steering pitman arm for 1997-2004 Mitsubishi Montero Sport applications.
