Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC9722
Steady your steering and keep suspension travel tight with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC5638, a direct-fit front lower replacement for the 2002-2004 Acura RSX and the 2002-2005 Honda Civic. If a worn front lower ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear, this Delphi joint restores a solid pivot between the control arm and steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and articulate smoothly.
Delphi builds on the OE safety technology fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, testing to the extreme for OE performance: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Replace ball joints in matched pairs where possible for balanced steering feel. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
