Delphi builds this joint with its OE steering expertise, validating parts across extreme conditions to match original-equipment behavior:
- Machined ball studs: the ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to guard against failure in service.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
- Validated to OE: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Signs an outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. Sold individually; order the quantity your steering requires.
