Steer and pivot with confidence using the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC1711, a front upper ball joint backed by the OE expertise behind the safety technology Delphi fits to millions of vehicles worldwide. If a worn ball joint is the cause of your clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this direct-fit replacement suits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2010 Ford Ranger, 2001-2009 Mazda B2300 and 1998-2007 Mazda B3000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
Anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance. As a steering and suspension pivot, the ball joint connects the control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can turn and the suspension can move.

Will this work for a 1998-2010 Ford Ranger ball joint replacement?
It's designed as a front upper replacement for the listed applications. Have the joint diagnosed first, since play or noise can come from other worn suspension parts.
Is this a front or rear ball joint?
This is a front upper ball joint per the catalog. It connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to steer and the suspension to pivot.
Do I need to replace both sides at the same time?
Replacing worn joints in matched pairs is a common best practice; inspect both sides and follow your vehicle's service procedure.
What is the boot made of on this Delphi ball joint?
It uses a chloroprene rubber boot, which Delphi states improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by sealing the joint against contaminants.
