Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC549
Restore tight, predictable steering 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 the 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country, 2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2012-2015 Ram C/V, and 2009-2014 Volkswagen Routan (see the Buyer's Guide tab for 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. Whether you're doing a ball joint Dodge Caravan repair or servicing another listed van, diagnose the cause before ordering.
