Description

Steer with confidence using the DELPHI ball joint TC4284, a front lower suspension ball joint that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle and lets the wheel pivot and travel while carrying the load. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, drawing on Delphi's OE safety technology fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide and carried into their aftermarket steering portfolio.

OE-level testing: validated at temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
Forged construction: made with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping contaminants out.
Micron-machined: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, with anti-corrosion protection applied for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Signs this Lincoln Aviator ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps or when turning, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and cracked or torn boots. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and inspect both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Delphi ball joint fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit front lower suspension ball joint for the 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.

What does a front lower ball joint do?

It connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering and move up and down with the suspension while carrying vehicle load.

What are the signs a ball joint may be worn?

Common signs include clunking over bumps or when turning, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a cracked or torn boot. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

What is the boot made of?

This ball joint uses a chloroprene rubber boot, which improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping dirt and moisture out of the joint.

Should I replace both ball joints at once?

Inspect both sides when servicing suspension. If both show wear, replacing them together is good practice for balanced, even steering and handling.
