    The axle assemblies are part of the revolutionary QUADRASTEER(TM) four-
wheel steering system for a General Motors truck program to begin in the 2002
model year.  The program will comprise the first four-wheel steering system
for a full-size truck product.
    QUADRASTEER(TM) by Delphi is an electronic four-wheel steering system that
significantly improves handling and maneuverability in full-size vehicles.
The unique four-wheel steering system electronically controls the direction of
the rear wheels, helping shorten the turning radius on full-size vehicles.
The smaller radius allows full-size vehicles to maneuver as adeptly as compact
cars.
    "This is a tremendously exciting new technology," said Bill Carroll,
president of Dana's Automotive System Group.  "We look forward to playing an
integral role in a system that we believe will provide unique value to the end
consumer."

manufacturing, assembly, and research and development facilities in 16
countries.
    These operations are part of Dana's Automotive Systems Group, a leading
