Help bring back tight, quiet steering with the Delphi control arm and ball joint assembly (P/N TC3245), a front left lower unit backed by Delphi's OE expertise. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Hyundai Tiburon, 2004-2009 Kia Spectra, and 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5, locating the wheel and providing a pivot point for suspension travel while its integrated ball joint allows the steering knuckle to move.
- Tested to extremes: validated for OE performance across temperatures below -40°C to over 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Verified integrity: 100% crack detection and ultrasonic flaw detection confirm the materials match OE specifications.
- Precision ball studs: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Robot-welded and coated: robotic welding for consistent quality, with anti-corrosion protection applied for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking on acceleration or over bumps, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it. Have the front suspension diagnosed before ordering to confirm the failed component.
