Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC9722
Help keep steering tight and controlled with the Delphi ball joint TC659, a direct-fit front lower suspension ball joint for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, 1986-1989 Mazda 323 and 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer. This pivoting joint connects the front lower control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer and travel while keeping the suspension located.
Delphi draws on OE steering expertise, testing to the extreme: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. If a worn ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, wandering steering or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list and engine-level fitment.
