Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC1621
Take the play out of your steering and suspension with the Delphi Suspension Ball Joint (TC1078) — a direct-fit Hyundai Sonata ball joint that pivots the steering knuckle and locates the lower control arm. It installs in the front lower and rear lower positions across a wide Hyundai and Kia range, including the 1989-1994 and 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 1996-2006 Hyundai Elantra, 1997-2001 and 2003-2008 Hyundai Tiburon, 2001 Hyundai XG300, 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350, 2004-2009 Kia Spectra and 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list.
Delphi applies its OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio, testing to the extreme: parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
