Delphi TL506 Steering Drag Link - Right

OE-Style Steering Drag Link for Ford Trucks

Delphi TL506 is a standard replacement steering drag link built for direct-fit service on select Ford F-250 and Ford F-350 applications. It uses steel construction, a black finish, and greaseable service points to support steering linkage maintenance on heavy-duty trucks.

Key Features

• Steel construction for steering linkage strength
• Black finish
• Greaseable design for routine lubrication service
• Mount stud thread diameter: 14.16 mm (0.563 in.)
• Maximum diameter: 45.0 mm (1.772 in.)
• Mounting hole diameter: 17.9 mm (0.705 in.)
• Mount stud quantity: 2
• Standard replacement grade
• Position: right

Detailed Description

Delphi TL506 steering drag link is engineered for OE-level dimensional and material compatibility, using Delphi’s aftermarket steering expertise and validation methods. The part is tested for extreme temperature exposure from below -40 degrees C to over 120 degrees C and is subjected to 720 hours of salt spray testing to evaluate durability in harsh service conditions. This makes TL506 a practical replacement choice for Ford F-250 and Ford F-350 steering repairs where precise linkage geometry matters. Delphi TL506 also cross-references Mevotech Supreme MDS796 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Excessive play in the steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Uneven steering response during turning
• Wear-related drag link replacement on right-side steering applications

Installation Notes and Fitment

• Fits 1977-1979 Ford F-250, right, with Dual Piston Caliper

Verify steering linkage measurements, stud thread diameter, and mounting hole size before installation. Grease the service points after installation and recheck alignment and steering wheel center position once the repair is complete.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and material analysis to its steering portfolio, with validation that includes temperature cycling and extended corrosion testing. That process supports consistent fit and service life for replacement steering components such as TL506.
