Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS with the inner steering position before ordering. Match thread diameter, pitch, and direction to the original component, and perform a professional alignment after installation. Inspect related steering components for wear while the system is apart.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing, to support OE-style durability in aftermarket service.
