Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:TC1346
Help restore a solid, controlled link between the frame and the front right wheel with the Delphi control arm TC5990, a front right lower control arm with ball joint that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2011 Ram Dakota and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider.
The arm connects the frame to the steering knuckle so the wheel can travel with the suspension, while the ball joint gives the knuckle a pivot point for steering. Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio. Its dimensional and material analysis is aimed at close compatibility between the OE part and the aftermarket part.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking from the front end over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. This listing is for the right side, and replacing both sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment after installation is advised. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
