Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC6498

$67.99

Description

Keep the front end tight and predictable with the Delphi ball joint TC6498, a front lower suspension ball joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1969-1978 Cadillac Eldorado and 1969-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado. It pivots between the lower control arm and steering knuckle, helping support and locate the suspension while letting the wheel steer and travel over the road.

Forged construction: manufactured from high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping contaminants out.
Micron-tolerance machining: machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Delphi applies its OE steering and suspension expertise to the aftermarket: parts are tested to withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility with the original. If a worn ball joint is behind clunking over the road, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this joint replaces it. Ball joints wear as a pair, so inspect the opposite side at the same time.
