Help keep your steering tight and your suspension travel smooth with the Delphi ball joint (MPN TC1644), a front lower ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle to the control arm, carrying suspension loads while allowing the wheels to steer and articulate over the road. It's a direct-fit replacement for many classic Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge and Plymouth trucks and vans, including the 1999-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van, 1963-1970 Chevrolet C20 Pickup and 1981-1994 Dodge B350 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Forged construction: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
- Micron-tolerance machining: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Built on Delphi's OE expertise, these parts are tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and 720 hours of salt spray — with extensive dimensional and material analysis for compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. Worn signs may include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
