$36.99

Keep your steering tight and your front suspension planted with the Delphi ball joint TC1618, a front lower suspension ball joint that pivots the control arm against the steering knuckle so the wheel can steer and move with the road. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1980-1985 Buick Skylark, 1980-1983 Chevrolet Citation, 1982-1996 Buick Century, 1982-1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and 1982-1991 Pontiac 6000 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

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

Delphi applies its OE safety expertise to this aftermarket steering part, testing to the extreme for OE performance: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray, while extensive dimensional and material analysis targets close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause of clunking over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position is this Delphi ball joint?

It is a front lower suspension ball joint. It connects the control arm to the steering knuckle, letting the wheel pivot for steering and move with suspension travel.

Will this ball joint fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the Buick Century, Chevrolet Citation, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and Pontiac 6000. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your year and model.

What are the signs a front lower ball joint may need replacing?

Common signs include clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can come from other worn suspension parts.

What is the boot made of?

This Delphi ball joint uses a chloroprene rubber boot, which improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by protecting the joint.

Should I replace both sides at once?

Ball joints install on the left and right sides. For balanced handling and even wear, it is good practice to inspect and, if worn, replace both sides together as a matched pair.
