Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5274
Replace a worn front lower ball joint on your MINI with the Delphi ball joint TC2233, a direct-fit front left lower Mini Cooper ball joint for the 2007-2015 MINI COOPER (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine breakdown). The ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the front suspension travel and the wheel pivot for steering — worn joints can show up as clunking over the front, loose or vague steering, and uneven tire wear.
Built on Delphi's OE steering expertise, these parts are tested to the extreme — enduring temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray — with dimensional and material analysis for close OE compatibility.
