Detailed Description

Delphi TA5789 is a steering drag link for drivers and repair shops looking for an OE-style replacement part with verified dimensional and material analysis. Delphi applies its OE engineering background to the aftermarket steering portfolio, helping ensure proper part-to-vehicle compatibility and consistent steering linkage geometry. This part number, TA5789, is built for applications that require a steel drag link with a 20.512-inch centerline length and 2-stud mounting design.

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports long-term service in demanding road conditions. If you are sourcing a Delphi steering drag link for a vehicle repair, TA5789 is a direct-fit style replacement to compare against the original component and interchange references.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., DS943, DS948) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive play in the steering linkage
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Wear-related steering geometry issues
• Replacement needs after drag link corrosion or damage
• Restoration of steering connection between linkage components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify centerline length, mounting hole diameter, and stud count against the removed part before installation. Inspect adjacent steering components for wear, including related linkage joints and fasteners, so the new drag link is not installed into a worn system. After installation, perform a steering alignment check and confirm proper steering wheel position and road feel.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based dimensional and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts and tests components for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure. That process supports consistent fit and durability expectations for steering service.
