Delphi TA5712 Steering Pitman Arm

Delphi TA5712 Steering Pitman Arm

The Delphi TA5712 steering pitman arm is a standard replacement part built for OE-style steering performance and dimensional accuracy. It is engineered for select 1999 Ford F-250, F-250 Super Duty, and F-350 Super Duty applications with the specified steering tooth count and early-1999 build dates.

Key Features

• Steel construction with a black finish
• 36-spline steering shaft interface
• 165.0 mm (6.5 in.) length
• 1.192 in. (30.3 mm) steering shaft diameter
• 0.698 in. (17.75 mm) center link end attachment diameter
• Standard ride height application
• Standard replacement item grade
• Delphi TA5712 engineered for OE compatibility and dimensional consistency

Detailed Description

Built from steel and finished in black, this steering pitman arm is designed to transfer motion from the steering gear to the center link with the correct geometry for the listed Ford trucks. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fitment and consistent steering response. The TA5712 is a direct-fit steering component for 1999 Ford F-250, 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty models with 32 teeth and build dates through February or March 1999, depending on application.

This part cross-references Ford F81Z 3590-BA and MOOG Chassis Products K80795 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive steering play at the pitman arm connection
• Loose or inconsistent steering wheel response
• Wear at the steering gear output connection
• Center link movement caused by a worn arm
• Restoration of correct steering linkage geometry on early-1999 Ford trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the steering shaft tooth count, spline count, and build date before ordering. This Delphi TA5712 pitman arm is not pre-greased, does not include a grease fitting, and does not include a castle nut. Inspect the steering gear sector shaft, center link, and related linkage components for wear before installation to help ensure proper alignment and steering performance.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray evaluation. That testing, along with OE-based dimensional and material analysis, supports consistent fit and performance for the listed Ford F-250, F-250 Super Duty, and F-350 Super Duty applications.
