    Help keep steering tight and suspension movement smooth with the Delphi ball joint TC1042, a front lower replacement that fits the 2000-2006 Audi TT and the 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro. This pivoting joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the front suspension articulate over bumps while the wheels steer.

    • Forged strength: built from high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
    • Chloroprene boot: a chloroprene rubber boot improves durability and helps guard against premature failure.
    • Precision machined: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
    • Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.

    Delphi draws on its OE experience for this aftermarket steering part, testing to extremes: components withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. Signs the original ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is good practice for balanced handling. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.

    What position is this ball joint?

    It is a front lower ball joint, connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the front suspension can pivot and articulate while steering.

    What does a suspension ball joint do?

    It is a pivoting connection between the control arm and steering knuckle, allowing the suspension to move over bumps and the wheels to turn while keeping the joint located.

    How do I know if my ball joint is worn?

    Common signs include clunking or knocking from the front over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.

    Do I need to replace both sides?
