Keep steering precise and the front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Delphi ball joint TC3396, a front lower suspension ball joint backed by Delphi's OE steering expertise. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG and 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz E350, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A ball joint is the pivot between the control arm and the steering knuckle. It lets the wheel steer and the suspension travel while holding the knuckle in place. Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and Delphi applies that experience to its aftermarket steering range. Its parts are tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C, and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
- High-quality forgings: used for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boots: designed to improve durability and help guard against premature failure.
- Micron-tolerance machining: intended for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and an improved appearance.
Delphi's extensive dimensional and material analysis aims for close compatibility between the OE part and the aftermarket part. Signs that a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and a torn boot. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it.
