Detailed Description

Delphi TA5665 steering pitman arm is built for vehicles that need a precise steering gear connection between the steering box and center link. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and function, and the part is tested for demanding temperature and corrosion exposure conditions. This makes TA5665 a practical replacement for Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 steering service, as well as Ford F-350 and Ford Ranger applications listed below.

This part cross-references Dorman - Premium PA8755PR for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive steering play caused by a worn pitman arm
• Loose or inconsistent steering response at the steering gear
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage area
• Uneven steering feel after wear in the center link connection
