Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5238
Keep your steering tight and your suspension pivoting smoothly with the Delphi ball joint TC6489, a front lower joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2011 Kia Borrego. As the pivot connecting the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, it carries suspension load while allowing the wheel to steer and travel; a worn joint may show up as clunking on bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Sold individually; the left and right sides wear at a similar rate, so replacing both together is good practice for balanced steering feel.
