Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Keep your front end tracking straight and your steering tight with the Delphi ball joint TC5834, a front upper unit built with Delphi's OE safety technology. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500 and 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 5500, the 2011-2012 Ram 4500 and 2011-2012 Ram 5500, and the 2009-2010 Sterling Truck Bullet 45 and 2009-2010 Sterling Truck Bullet 55. It connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the suspension pivot and articulate while helping locate the wheel.
Delphi tests to the extreme, with parts that withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray. Clunking from the front suspension over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs the ball joint may need replacing; diagnose the cause before installing.
