Outer tie rods and control arms may not always make headlines, but they’re core to vehicle safety. These components are the link between driver control and on-road performance, and when they fail, the consequences are immediate. Always having the right part, at the right time, is critical to your customers - that’s why you need a partner who’s always got your back!
That’s why this milestone matters: Delphi now leads the European IAM with the #1 coverage in both outer tie rods and control arms. These achievements underscore our commitment to supporting workshops with a range that delivers on reliability, depth, and safety.
Leading Coverage in Safety-Critical Parts
We’re proud to hold the top position in two essential steering and suspension components:
These milestones are the result of long-term planning, product development focused on the needs of our customers - and their customers, and catalogue optimization.
Strong Performance Across the Full S&S Portfolio
Our leadership extends across the entire S&S line-up. Delphi ranks on the podium across all key product categories:
- Inner Tie Rods - 91,86% VIO| #3
- Ball Joints - 81,95% VIO | #2
- Stabiliser Links - 93,82% VIO | #3
This consistency is what makes Delphi a preferred partner across Europe. It’s coverage that supports first-time fixes, improves workshop efficiency, and reflects the trust we’ve built in safety & critical repairs.
Strategic Growth: Expanding the Range Year After Year
In 2024, Delphi added 1,362 SKUs to the range - an ambitious expansion aimed at closing gaps and increasing vehicle parc coverage. And we’re not slowing down. Similar growth is planned for the coming years to ensure our offer remains both comprehensive and competitive.
Today, our total S&S offering includes more than 8,000 SKUs, making Delphi one of the most complete providers in the
European IAM. But more than just volume, our range is driven by vehicle relevance and quality assurance.
