Front Upper Ball Joint for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger & More - Delphi TC2547

Help address loose, clunking steering with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint (P/N TC2547) — a front upper ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle against the control arm while carrying suspension load. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list and engine-level fitment.

• Tested to extremes: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, testing below -40°C and above 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
• Forged strength: built with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
• Chloroprene boot: a chloroprene rubber boot improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
• Micron tolerances: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, with anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.

If a worn front upper ball joint is behind knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear or vague steering, this replaces it. Each ball joint is sold individually — inspect the opposite side when servicing, and replacing both together is recommended.
