Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5882
Reconnect the control arm to the steering knuckle with a smooth, precise pivot using the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC1382, a direct-fit front lower (front lower outer) replacement for the listed applications. It fits a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models, including the 2000-2006 S430, 2000-2006 S500, 2001-2014 CL600, 2003-2009 E320, 2007-2011 CLS550 and 2004-2011 SL600 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 28 applications and the correct engines. A ball joint pivots the steering knuckle to the control arm, letting the wheel steer and travel with the suspension; a worn joint may show clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
Built on Delphi's OE safety technology, this part is validated against Delphi's OE performance testing — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray — with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
