Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Steer and pivot with confidence using the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC1711, a front upper ball joint built with the same OE safety technology Delphi fits to millions of vehicles worldwide. If a worn Ford Ranger ball joint is the cause of your clunking, loose steering, or uneven tire wear, this direct-fit replacement drops into the listed applications: the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 2001-2010 Mazda B2300, 1998-2007 Mazda B3000, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, and 1998-2003 Mazda B4000. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance. As a load-bearing 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. This Delphi ball joint is sold individually.
Does this fit a Ford Ranger?

Will this work for a Ford Ranger ball joint replacement on my truck?
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 on my 01 Ford Ranger ball joints?
This listing is for one ball joint, sold individually. Replacing worn joints in matched pairs is a common best practice; 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.
