Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC7860
Keep your front suspension tight and steering precise with the Delphi ball joint TC1714, a direct-fit front lower replacement for the 1979-1981 Dodge D50 (All engines). This pivoting joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to steer and travel while carrying suspension loads.
Drawing on Delphi's OE experience, these parts are tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and enduring 720 hours of salt spray — with dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility with the original. This is a front lower unit; the D50 uses two per vehicle, so order 2 for a complete axle replacement. Country of origin: Turkey.
