Description

Help restore precise steering response and controlled front suspension travel with the Delphi Front Upper Ball Joint TC7971 — a direct-fit Dodge Ram 1500 ball joint for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011 Ram 1500. This front upper suspension ball joint is the pivoting connection between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension moves through its travel.

Forged strength: Manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: A chloroprene rubber boot improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
Micron-tolerance machining: Machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
Corrosion protection & OE testing: Anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part; Delphi tests to OE performance, with parts withstanding temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray.

Built on Delphi's OE expertise and extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. If a worn front upper ball joint is the cause of your steering or handling complaint, this drops in as the replacement.
