Delphi TA5657 Steering Drag Link - Right Inner

Delphi TA5657 Steering Drag Link

Delphi TA5657 is a standard replacement steering drag link built from steel for OE-style steering performance. It is engineered for the right inner position on select Ford Super Duty trucks and is backed by Delphi’s OE-focused dimensional and material analysis.

Key Features

• Steel construction for steering system durability
• Standard replacement grade for direct-service applications
• Right inner position fitment
• Mounting hardware included
• Non-greaseable design
• Mounting hole diameter: 20.6 mm
• Length: 34.01 in. (864.0 mm)

Detailed Description

This Delphi TA5657 steering drag link is built to match OE requirements for steering geometry and fitment on 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2008-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty, right inner. Delphi applies OE-level engineering to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to support proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering setup. The steel construction and standard replacement design make this part a practical choice for restoring steering linkage function on Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty applications.

Delphi tests steering components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero cold, high heat, and extended salt spray exposure, to evaluate performance in demanding road environments. Part number TA5657 also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play at the right inner linkage point
• Loose or inconsistent steering response
• Wear in the steering drag link assembly
• Restoration of steering alignment integrity after component wear
• Replacement of a damaged or corroded drag link on Super Duty trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify right inner position fitment before installation on 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2008-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty models. Inspect related steering components, fasteners, and alignment settings during service, and confirm the mounting hole diameter and overall length match the original part before assembly. TA5657 is a direct-service steering component, so proper torque and post-installation alignment checks are important for correct steering operation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused testing and engineering for its steering parts, including dimensional and material validation plus environmental exposure testing for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance. Part number TA5657 is built as a standard replacement steering drag link for service use on select Ford Super Duty applications.
