A suspension ball joint in the front lower position is a pivot that links the steering knuckle to the suspension. It lets the wheel turn for steering while it moves up and down over the road. Delphi applies its OE safety and steering expertise to its aftermarket portfolio. Its parts are tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray. Delphi also runs dimensional and material analysis to support compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.

  • High-quality forgings: used for increased strength and smooth operation.
  • Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and is designed to help prevent premature failure.
  • Micron-tolerance machining: intended to support durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and a clean appearance.

A lower ball joint may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Follow the vehicle service information for installation, fasteners and torque values.
