Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC6947
Help keep your steering tight and your front suspension precise with the Delphi ball joint TC5830, a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2004 Volvo S40 and 2001-2004 Volvo V40. As the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, it lets the suspension travel and the wheel steer while carrying load — when it wears, you may notice clunking or popping over bumps and when turning, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear.
Delphi builds this joint on the same OE expertise fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, testing to the extreme for OE performance — parts endure temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause of your symptoms, this replaces it. Sold individually; ball joints install as left/right pairs, so replacing both sides together is recommended.
