It uses a straight, non-adjustable design with a steel housing, threaded stud construction, and a greaseable service layout. The part is pre-greased and includes a dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. Delphi applies OE-based testing and material analysis to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to support durability in demanding driving conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES150L for the same application.
