Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1670

$43.99

Description

Give worn front suspension a fresh pivot with the Delphi ball joint TC1670, a front lower suspension ball joint that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and travel through its range. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2000 Ford Contour, 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, and 1995-2000 Mercury Mystique — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

Forged strength: Manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: Helps improve durability and guard against premature failure by keeping contaminants out and grease in.
Micron-tolerance machining: Machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Corrosion protection: Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Delphi applies its OE engineering to its aftermarket steering portfolio, testing to the extreme — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. If a failed lower ball joint is behind your looseness, replacing it provides a new pivot point for the front suspension.
