It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio, including this suspension ball joint. Delphi tests its steering parts to the extreme: they are exposed to temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and to 720 hours of salt spray. Extensive dimensional and material analysis is carried out to help match the aftermarket part to the OE part.
Signs a ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel and uneven tire wear. Other front-end parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
