Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread diameter, sleeve length, and vehicle application before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 26035160, ES2841S) for the same application. Use the application tab to confirm the correct steering position for your vehicle, especially on chassis and I-beam suspension setups.

Delphi applies OE engineering practices to its aftermarket steering portfolio and subjects parts to temperature and salt-spray testing for durability. The TA5642 is backed by dimensional and material analysis intended to match OE and aftermarket requirements.
