Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle position before ordering, since this part is listed for the left inner steering location. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the original component before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. For fitment, this part is listed for 2007-2014 Ford E-150, 2008-2014 Ford E-250, and 2008-2019 or 2021-2022 Ford E-350 Super Duty, left inner.
Quality Assurance
Delphi subjects steering components to temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C, along with extended salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability in harsh conditions. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style compatibility for aftermarket steering service.
