Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1653
Keep the front end tight and the steering responsive with the DELPHI ball joint TC4188, a front lower suspension ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect. This is the pivoting joint that links the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension travel and the wheels steer while keeping everything located. Delphi builds its aftermarket steering portfolio on the same OE expertise fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide.
A worn ball joint can show up as clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. This listing is for one ball joint; replacing both sides together is recommended.
