Detailed Description

Delphi TA6274 steering idler arm is engineered using OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and steering linkage compatibility. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt spray, to validate performance in harsh environments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

For Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango owners servicing worn steering linkage components, TA6274 provides a practical replacement for restoring steering support and maintaining consistent front-end geometry. The Delphi TA6274 idler arm is a direct service option for 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and 1998-1999 Dodge Durango models with 12mm mounting holes.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify 12mm mounting hole size before ordering. Inspect related steering linkage parts, including the pitman arm, tie rod ends, and center link, before installation. After replacement, have the vehicle’s front-end alignment checked to confirm proper steering geometry and road tracking.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE engineering standards to its aftermarket steering portfolio and validates parts through dimensional, material, temperature, and corrosion testing. The TA6274 is built as a standard replacement steering idler arm for dependable service in the listed Dodge applications.
