The Dorman 541-420 is a steel replacement part with a coated finish and the correct spline and taper interface needed for select steering gear applications. It cross-references Delphi TA6285 for the same application. Compatible With 1985 Ford F-350, from 2\/85, and 1986-1997 Ford F-350, this part number is a practical choice when restoring steering linkage geometry and steering response. The Dorman 541-420 is intended to replace the original pitman arm on the listed Ford F-350 vehicles without changing the steering system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or imprecise steering feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn pitman arm splines or taper connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering linkage play at the center link connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or clunking from steering movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoration work on Ford F-350 steering components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify spline count, steering shaft diameter, and center link attachment dimensions before installation. This part does not include a castle nut, grease fitting, or mounting hardware. For best results, inspect the steering gear, center link, and related linkage parts for wear before completing the repair. Confirm vehicle application by year and build date for 1985 Ford F-350 models from 2\/85 and for 1986-1997 Ford F-350 applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman states that this pitman arm is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to provide a reliable replacement for the original component on the listed vehicles.
