Keep the front suspension pivoting smoothly with the Delphi ball joint TC5042, made with high quality forgings for strength and smooth operation. It is listed for several models, among them the 2006-2012 Dodge Charger, 2005-2012 Chrysler 300 and 2008-2012 Dodge Challenger, and is cataloged for the front lower rearward position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This ball joint is the pivot point that links the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel follow the road and turn with the steering. Delphi fits its OE safety technology to millions of vehicles worldwide and applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering line.
- Forged construction: Built with high quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boots: Help improve durability and are designed to help prevent premature failure.
- Micron-tolerance machining: Delphi machines to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: Applied to each part for corrosion prevention and a cleaner appearance.
Delphi tests its parts to the extreme: they withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray. Its dimensional and material analysis is aimed at close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn ball joint is the cause, TC5042 replaces it; have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
