Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:TC7183
Help maintain proper front-end geometry with the Delphi control arm and ball joint assembly, part number TC1708. This front right upper unit is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1995-2000 Ford Explorer, 1998-2003 Ford Ranger and 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. It locates the wheel, allows the suspension to travel, and its ball joint lets the steering knuckle pivot for steering and articulation.
Tested to the extreme: Delphi applies its OE expertise to the aftermarket, with parts that withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, backed by dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
As a 1995-2000 Ford Explorer upper control arm, it also fits other Ford, Mazda and Mercury models; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. A worn arm or ball joint may cause clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven front tire wear; if a failed front upper arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
