Micron-machined ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics, and the necessary accessories are included for a complete job.
