Description

Help keep the front suspension tight and the steering precise with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint (TC1678), a front lower ball joint that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1965-1977 Volkswagen Beetle and 1966-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Delphi carries the OE expertise behind safety technology fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide into its aftermarket steering portfolio, including this Delphi ball joint. Delphi validation tests to the extreme — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.

Forged construction: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
Micron-tolerance machining: for durability and smooth joint operation.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

The ball joint pivots the steering knuckle to the suspension arm, allowing the wheels to steer while the suspension moves. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front lower joint is the cause, this replaces it.
