what exactly comes in the package when you order this retainer? is it just the retainer itself or does it include anything else?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 6, 2025, 5:20 PM

You get the retainer along with a check ball included in the package. It's a small but important combination for keeping your steering control unit functioning the way it should. The retainer itself is made from nylon, so it's lightweight and built to hold up against wear, dirt, and moisture in typical steering system environments.
