Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Tighten up your steering and hold the front wheels in line with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint TC6963 — a direct-fit Jeep Compass ball joint that mounts in the front lower position. It fits the 2007-2017 Jeep Compass, 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot, and 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. As the pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, it lets the wheel steer while the suspension travels.
Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to this aftermarket part, with dimensional and material analysis to keep the aftermarket piece close to the OE.
Clunking over bumps, vibration, or loose steering can be signs a worn joint should be inspected. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause, this Delphi ball joint replaces it.
