The ball joint pivots between the control arm and steering knuckle, letting the suspension move up and down while the wheel steers.
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket part, testing to the extreme for OE performance — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Signs this Dodge Dakota ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, uneven tire wear, and loose or wandering steering. If a worn ball joint is the cause, this replaces it.
