Detailed Description

This Delphi steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve is engineered for front-end steering adjustment on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. The TA6472 part number is backed by Delphi OE-focused dimensional and material analysis, helping maintain proper compatibility between the original steering setup and the replacement sleeve. Delphi also subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray testing, to verify performance in demanding conditions. For Ram 2500 steering repair and Ram 3500 front steering service, TA6472 provides a direct replacement solution for the adjusting sleeve location.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
