This replacement part fits MS & V8 applications, and specifically the inner right-hand position for power steering (PS) with V8. Built to OEM-style specifications, it helps reduce play, improve steering response, and prevent premature wear of steering components. Durable construction and a serviceable design make it a reliable choice for restoration and routine maintenance projects.
