Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC831
Keep steering tight and suspension movement controlled with the Delphi ball joint TC2602, a front lower joint that lets the control arm pivot with the steering knuckle while carrying suspension loads. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car, 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
Worn ball joints may show as clunking over the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed front lower ball joint is the cause on your Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car, Crown Victoria, or Town Car, this replaces it.
