Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC5968
Loose, clunking steering can trace back to a worn front lower ball joint — if that's the cause on your Nissan, the Delphi ball joint TC8405 replaces it. This front lower suspension ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle, pivoting to let the wheel steer while the suspension travels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 2007-2013 Nissan Sentra, 2007-2012 Nissan Versa and 2009-2013 Nissan Cube — a straightforward 2007-2013 Nissan Sentra ball joint replacement for daily-driver front-end work; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Delphi draws on its OE experience, testing parts below -40°C and over 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. Sold individually; replacing both the left and right front lower joints together is recommended.
