Dorman 533-137 Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve - Left (Pitman Arm to Steering Arm)
Ram Steering Adjusting Sleeve Replacement
Dorman 533-137 is a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve built for Ram heavy-duty trucks that use a left-side Pitman Arm to steering arm connection. It replaces the original threaded tube design with a clamp-style OE FIX solution for a more secure steering adjustment on Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 applications.
- Steel construction for durable steering linkage service
- Left-hand, counterclockwise thread direction
- Metric coarse thread design with 27 mm thread diameter and 1.5 mm pitch
- Black finish
- Designed for the left side between the Pitman Arm and steering arm
- OE FIX design uses sturdy clamps instead of the factory turnbuckle-style sleeve
- Direct replacement for worn or failed factory adjusting sleeves
Detailed Product Overview
This Dorman steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve is engineered for Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 trucks from 2013-2018, with fitment specific to the left side at the Pitman Arm to steering arm location. Part number 533-137 is built from steel and uses a clamp-based design to improve retention where the original threaded sleeve can loosen over time. For buyers searching for a Ram 2500 steering adjusting sleeve, Ram 3500 tie rod sleeve replacement, or a Ram 4000 left steering sleeve, this part provides a direct OE-style repair path.
This part cross-references Delphi TA6469 for the same application.

- Unstable truck handling caused by a worn factory sleeve
