Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1675
Delphi TC1278 front inner lower right ball joint for the 2002-2008 Mini Cooper is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. The Delphi ball joint is tested at temperatures below -40 degrees C and over 120 degrees C, and through 720 hours of salt spray.
A worn suspension ball joint can show up as clunking over bumps, loose steering or uneven tire wear. These signs alone do not prove the ball joint is at fault, since a worn control arm bushing can cause them too.
This ball joint is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2008 Mini Cooper. This listing is one ball joint for the front right; the left side of that axle is a separate part, and both sides are normally replaced at the same time. Each side of the front axle takes one.
