The part features male ends, 16.0 mm thread diameter at both ends, a 1.5 thread pitch on the end 2 side, and a stud-center-to-end length of 147.0 mm (5.787 in). Its coated steel housing and steel tie rod are paired with a POM bearing material to support consistent steering movement in replacement applications.

• Helps correct steering pull after suspension or alignment work
• Replaces damaged or corroded inner tie rod components
• Supports accurate toe adjustment during front-end service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application by year, make, model, and inner position before installation. Because this is an adjustable steering component, a professional wheel alignment is required after replacement. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the original part before assembly. For 2004-2005 Hyundai Sonata applications, confirm the build date note of from 03/01/2005.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style fit and function in aftermarket steering repairs.
