Keep your suspension tight and precise with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint (TC5359), a direct-fit replacement for the rear upper position on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. As a pivoting suspension joint, it connects the rear upper control arm to the knuckle and allows the controlled movement the suspension needs while keeping the wheel located.
- High-quality forgings: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
- Chloroprene rubber boots: help improve durability and prevent premature failure.
- Micron-tolerance machining: Delphi machines to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
Built with Delphi's OE expertise, it is tested to withstand temperatures below -40 degrees C and over 120 degrees C and endures 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. Clunking or knocking from the suspension, uneven tire wear, or loose, wandering handling can be signs a ball joint may need replacing; diagnose the cause first. For balanced results, it's good practice to inspect and service both sides together.
