- OE-level testing: validated to extremes — withstands temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Micron-machined ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested to guard against failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
- Complete job: Delphi includes the necessary accessories.
As an inner tie rod end, it links the steering gear to the outer joint and transmits steering input to the wheel. If a worn inner joint is behind loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knock when turning, this replaces it. Inspect and diagnose the cause before replacing.
