Detailed Description
This steering center link is built for vehicles that use a center link in the steering gear and related components system. The Dorman 540-998 follows the original part’s dimensions, including a 555 mm length and 19.2 mm shaft diameter, to support proper steering linkage geometry. It is a standard replacement part for applications such as 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1978-1987 Buick Regal, and 1978-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix, as well as other listed Cutlass, Malibu, El Camino, Century, LeMans, Grand Am, Bonneville, and Cutlass Cruiser models.
This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS909 and Delphi TL495 for the same application. The Dorman 540-998 is also listed with multiple interchange references for OE-style steering service.
