EXHIBIT 99.4


                             TENNECO AUTOMOTIVE INC.
       STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS
               AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS



  I, Mark A. McCollum, state and attest that:


        (1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
        reports of Tenneco Automotive Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
        "Company"), and, except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent
        covered report:

            o    no covered report contained an untrue statement of a
                 material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
                 report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
                 proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and


            o    no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                 to make the statements in the covered report, in light of
                 the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
                 as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                 the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
                 materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

        (2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
        audit committee.

        (3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
        before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            o    the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
                 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
                 Commission ("Commission"), of Tenneco Automotive Inc.;


            o    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                 definitive proxy materials of Tenneco Automotive Inc. filed
                 with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form
                 10-K identified above; and


            o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
