Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5882
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.
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.
