Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Tighten up worn steering and suspension with the Delphi ball joint TC281, a direct-fit replacement for the front lower outer position on the 1989-1991 Peugeot 405. As the pivoting joint between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, it lets the suspension travel while the wheel steers — and when it wears, you may notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear, all signs this ball joint may need replacing.
Ball joints wear as a matched pair on an axle; inspect the opposite side and replace both together for balanced steering feel.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does the Delphi ball joint TC281 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the front lower outer ball joint on the 1989-1991 Peugeot 405. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
What position is this ball joint?
This is the front lower outer suspension ball joint, joining the lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the suspension can move while the wheel steers.
What are signs my ball joint needs replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can stem from other worn components too.
What does the chloroprene rubber boot do?
The chloroprene rubber boot seals the joint and improves durability, helping prevent premature failure by keeping contamination out.
Should I replace both ball joints at once?
Ball joints wear as a matched pair on an axle, so it's good practice to inspect the opposite side and replace both together for balanced, even steering feel.
