MOOG designs these sleeves to fit factory specifications while adding surface protection and simplifying installation. Before ordering, verify vehicle compatibility by entering year, make, model, engine and trim to confirm a match and review any fitment notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this adjusting sleeve improve steering longevity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES2012S provides a protective layer over the sleeve surface, reducing the speed at which rust and environmental damage develop.
