See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This suspension ball joint is a pivot point between the suspension and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel move with the suspension and turn with the steering. Delphi brings its OE steering expertise to its aftermarket range. Its dimensional and material analysis aims for close compatibility between the OE part and the replacement. Delphi also tests its parts to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, plus 720 hours of salt spray exposure.
- High-quality forgings: Delphi manufactures its ball joints with forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boot: helps improve durability and is intended to help prevent premature failure.
- Micron-level machining: Delphi machines to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part to help prevent corrosion and give a cleaner finish.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and a torn boot. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing the part.
