Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and Delphi applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering range. Its parts are tested to the extreme for OE performance:
- Temperature tested: withstands temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C.
- Salt-spray tested: exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
- OE compatibility: Delphi's extensive dimensional and material analysis is aimed at the best possible compatibility with the OE part.
- Built for quiet, consistent service: manufactured for consistent life and to reduce noise, and designed to help restore the vehicle's smooth ride.
A radius arm bushing cushions the radius arm's mounting point, helping keep the front suspension located while absorbing road shock and vibration. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, a loose or wandering steering feel, uneven tire wear, or a bushing that is visibly cracked or separated. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other suspension and steering parts can produce similar symptoms.
