Restore steering precision and safe suspension articulation with the Delphi ball joint TC5061, a front lower joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2003-2006 Ford Expedition and 2003-2006 Lincoln Navigator (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). It connects the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, carrying suspension load while letting the wheel pivot for steering and travel over bumps.
Common signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing.
