Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1653
Keep your steering tight and your front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Delphi front lower Suspension Ball Joint TC1705 — a Delphi ball joint that connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and travel while carrying suspension loads. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement, among them the 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car and 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details.
Delphi builds on its OE expertise, testing to the extreme: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, while extensive dimensional and material analysis targets close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, replacing it with TC1705 addresses that joint.
