Help keep your front suspension tightly located and steering precise with the Delphi ball joint, part number TC1630 — a front lower suspension ball joint built on Delphi's OE expertise. It fits many vehicles and installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2007-2010 Ford E-150, 2003-2010 Ford E-250 and 2004-2010 Ford E-350 Super Duty (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications).
The front lower ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, carrying load while letting the suspension travel and the wheels steer.
- OE-level validation: tested to the extreme — withstands temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Forged strength: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene boots: chloroprene rubber boots improve durability and help prevent premature failure.
- Precision + protection: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, with anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, wandering steering, looseness, or uneven inner tire wear — if a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
