Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Steer with confidence and restore smooth suspension articulation with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC5489 — a front lower ball joint and a direct-fit replacement across the 2007-2017 Ford Expedition, 2009-2014 Ford F-150, and 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator. If you're shopping for a Ford F-150 ball joint that carries genuine OE engineering, Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket unit.
Delphi validates to OE performance, with parts that withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, and extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. The ball joint connects the steering knuckle to the control arm, allowing the wheel to pivot and travel while locating the front suspension. Clunking over the front, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear are signs a worn joint may need replacing; if a failed ball joint is the cause, this replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.
