    Keep the front suspension tight and steering responsive with the Delphi ball joint TC1676, a direct-fit front upper joint for the 1965-1977 Volkswagen Beetle and 1966-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. It carries Delphi's OE safety technology into the aftermarket, connecting the control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and the suspension can travel while staying located.

    • Forged for strength: built from high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
    • Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping contaminants out.
    • Micron-machined: machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
    • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

    Delphi validates to OE performance, testing below -40°C and over 120°C and exposing parts to 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility to the original. If a worn front upper ball joint is behind your clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full engine-level application list.
