Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC2217
Steady your steering and keep the front suspension tight with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC5256, a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Ford Edge and 2007-2011 Lincoln MKX. This is the Delphi ball joint that pivots the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and the suspension travel while carrying load. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail.
Delphi applies its OE expertise to the aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. If a worn ball joint is behind your clunking, loose steering, or uneven front tire wear, this is the part that addresses it. Inspect the opposite side and replace as directed by the service procedure.

What vehicles does the Delphi TC5256 ball joint fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Ford Edge and 2007-2011 Lincoln MKX. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail.
Where is this ball joint located?
It is a front lower ball joint, connecting the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and the suspension can travel.
What are signs I may need a ball joint replacement?
Clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can be signs of a worn ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
What is the boot made of?
It 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 sides at once?
Ball joints wear with mileage, so it is good practice to inspect the opposite side and replace both if worn. Follow the vehicle service procedure for fasteners.
