Description

Help support precise steering and proper wheel articulation with the Delphi ball joint TC293, a front upper suspension ball joint that drops in for the 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon and 1985-1991 Volkswagen Transporter. It brings Delphi's OE expertise to the aftermarket and is tested to the extreme for OE performance.

Forged construction: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth 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 joint operation.
Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection applied to each part; validated to 720 hours of salt spray and temperatures below -40 °C to over 120 °C.

As a front upper joint, it locates the wheel and lets the steering knuckle pivot and articulate. Worn ball joints often show up as clunking over the front suspension, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed upper joint is the cause, this replaces it. Inspect the opposite side as well; replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
