Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC7860
Keep your steering precise and the front suspension quiet and controlled with the Delphi ball joint TC3648, a front upper suspension ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle against the control arm while letting the wheel steer and the suspension move. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 1997-2006 Jaguar XK8, 2000-2006 Jaguar XKR, 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, and 1998-2003 Jaguar XJR — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
Delphi carries its OE steering and suspension expertise into its aftermarket portfolio, testing to the extreme: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
If a worn front upper ball joint is behind your clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
