Detailed Description

Delphi TA6397 is a steering pitman arm for Jeep TJ and Jeep Wrangler models from 1997 through 2006. As a steel replacement component, it is intended to restore the connection between the steering gear and the steering linkage while maintaining the correct geometry for the vehicle’s steering system. The 3.67-inch length and standard replacement design make it a practical choice for steering repairs where original-style fit and function matter. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the intended application, and the part is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K440029 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring steering response on a Jeep TJ or Jeep Wrangler
• Replacing a worn or damaged pitman arm
