Steer with confidence on your Mercedes-Benz and replace a worn front lower joint with the Delphi ball joint TC388, a direct-fit front lower Suspension Ball Joint drawn from Delphi's OE-derived steering and suspension portfolio. It fits a broad run of classic Mercedes-Benz models, including the 1984-1989 190D, 1984-1991 190E, 1987-1989 260E, 1986-1993 300E, 1988-1993 300CE and 300TE, 1990-1993 300SL, 1992-1993 500E, 1994-1998 SL500 and SL600, and the 1994-1995 E320 and E420 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
- Forged strength: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene boots: chloroprene rubber boots improve durability and help prevent premature failure.
- Micron tolerances: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
Delphi tests to the extreme for OE performance, with parts that withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, while dimensional and material analysis targets the very best compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. As a front lower ball joint, it locates the steering knuckle and lets the suspension pivot. Signs it may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear; diagnose the cause before replacing.
