Detailed Description

The Delphi TL527 steering drag link is designed for steering gear and related component replacement where a durable steel linkage is required. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the original application closely, while its testing program includes exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt spray conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1414 for the same application.

Compatible With select Dodge Ram 1500 Van, Ram 2500 Van, Ram 3500 Van, B1500, B2500, B3500, B150, B250, and B350 applications. Use Delphi TL527 when replacing a worn steering drag link on 1994-2003 Dodge steering systems that call for this OE-style geometry and thread specification.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play caused by wear in the drag link
• Loose or inconsistent steering feel
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Uneven steering response from a fatigued linkage component
• Corrosion-related replacement needs in underbody steering parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing drag link length, stud thread diameter, and mounting style before installation. Inspect adjacent steering components, including tie rod ends and related linkage hardware, so the new drag link is installed into a serviceable system. After installation, perform a professional alignment and steering inspection to confirm proper tracking and road feel.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components for OE performance under extreme temperature and corrosion exposure, including sub-zero and high-heat conditions plus extended salt spray testing. The TL527 is built as a standard replacement steering drag link for dependable service in demanding steering applications.
