Restore precise steering and a controlled ride on your Nissan Leaf with the Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (TC8970). This integrated unit combines the control arm with its ball joint to locate the wheel and manage suspension movement, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front left lower position on the 2013-2017 Nissan Leaf.

  • Built to OE-level durability: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, testing parts to withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Verified materials: control arms undergo 100% crack detection and ultrasonic flaw detection so materials match OE specifications.
  • Precision ball studs: the ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Robot-welded & protected: robot welding delivers consistent quality, and anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.

Signs this part may need replacing include clunking on acceleration, deceleration or over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
