Help keep your steering steady and your front suspension tight with the Delphi ball joint TC837, a direct-fit front lower suspension ball joint for the 2000-2004 Ford Focus (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Delphi carries its OE safety expertise into its aftermarket steering line, with each part put through extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and the replacement.
Forged strength: Built with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth joint operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: The boot improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping the joint sealed.
Micron-tolerance machining: Machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth movement, and tested to the extreme — below -40°C, above 120°C, and 720 hours of salt spray.
Anti-corrosion protection: Applied to each part for corrosion prevention and improved appearance.
If a worn ball joint is behind clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear, this replaces it. Sold individually; ball joints typically install as a left/right set, so inspect and replace both sides together as a matched pair for balanced handling.

What vehicle does this Delphi ball joint fit?

It is a front lower ball joint. It locates the lower control arm to the steering knuckle and allows the suspension to pivot and travel.
