Keep your 2002-2005 Honda Civic ball joint tight and your steering precise with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC4280, a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Honda Civic and 2002-2004 Acura RSX. This front lower joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering while the suspension travels over the road.
Delphi builds on OE experience, testing to the extreme: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Forged strength: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
- Micron tolerances: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
Clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear can be signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing; if a worn joint is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it. Inspect both sides and replace as directed by the service procedure. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
