Bolster Your Steering and Suspension with Delphi!

Sponsored by Delphi Technologies

A vehicle’s steering and suspension system is integral to its ride, handling, safety, and must always be up to the job–that’s where Delphi comes in.

All Delphi chassis parts undergo rigorous dimension, material, durability, temperature, and performance tests to ensure they meet or exceed OE specifications at every turn. Because Delphi’s debut in steering and suspension began in Europe, it’s allowed us to have a more thorough understanding of foreign nameplate vehicles as well. This can be seen in our diverse portfolio for North America, where we’ve incorporated deeper technical expertise, innovation, and knowledge through sheer experience in the market.

Delphi Steering and Suspension at a Glance

In North America, Delphi’s chassis portfolio contains well over 7,000 SKUs, with many more planned for the near future. For 2023, Delphi has launched 123 SKUS, covering nearly 63 million VIO in the United States.

Here are just a few of the highlights about the part types we’ve announced in 2023.
