Detailed Description

Delphi TA1848 is engineered for inner steering linkage service where accurate thread engagement and consistent geometry matter. The part features 14.0 mm end thread diameter, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a 1.5 mm thread pitch at end 2 for proper steering system alignment. Its Polyoxymethilen (POM) bearing material and coated steel construction are selected to support durability in demanding road conditions. Delphi validates steering components through temperature exposure below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray testing, to verify material and dimensional stability. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV189 for the same application.
