Description

Help keep the front suspension tight and steering precise with the Delphi ball joint TC280, a front lower ball joint that pivots the control arm while locating the steering knuckle. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1988 Volkswagen Golf and 1985-1988 Volkswagen Jetta, installing in the front lower position.

Forged for strength: Manufactured from high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth joint operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: Improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping contaminants out of the joint.
Micron-tolerance machining: Machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth operation.
Corrosion protection: Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Built on Delphi's OE safety technology fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, these parts are tested to the extreme — withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray — with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. Signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking over uneven pavement, wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
