Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC549
Help keep steering tight and predictable with the Delphi ball joint (P/N: TC5288), a front lower suspension ball joint that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle and lets the wheel pivot for steering while the suspension travels. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2008-2012 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008-2012 Chrysler Town & Country and 2012 Ram C/V (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level fitment).
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket: parts are tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear — if a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause before ordering.
