Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5274
Keep your front suspension pivoting smoothly and your steering connected with the Delphi ball joint TC134, a direct-fit replacement for the 1968-1979 Volkswagen Transporter. Cataloged for the front upper and lower positions, it forms the pivoting link between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the suspension articulate over bumps while the wheels turn. Delphi builds it on its OE safety expertise, with parts validated below -40°C and above 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
Delphi's dimensional and material analysis targets close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over the front suspension, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; diagnose the cause before replacing.
