Delphi Steering Center Link P/N:TL491
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi Steering Center Link TL2033, the link that ties the pitman and idler arms together and passes steering input to the tie rods.

Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, testing to the extreme for OE performance — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for the best OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Signs the original center link may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play in the wheel, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
