Detailed Description

Delphi TA3497 is engineered for the steering system on 2003-2004 Nissan Murano models in the front outer position. The part uses a straight, adjustable design with a threaded stud, female-to-male end configuration, and a steel housing to support precise steering linkage replacement. Dimensions include a 216.50 length, 41 width, 82.50 height, and a 23.00 tube diameter, helping maintain proper fit in the original steering layout.

Delphi applies OE-level testing and dimensional analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray testing. This helps ensure the part aligns with the original fit and material expectations for the Nissan Murano steering system. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES80624 and Mevotech Supreme MES80624 for the same application. Delphi TA3497 is also referenced by part number TA3497 for ordering and catalog lookup.
