Keep your front suspension tightly connected and your steering precise with the Delphi ball joint (TC2378), a direct-fit front lower ball joint for the 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage. Delphi carries its OE safety technology into this aftermarket steering and suspension part, with extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part. It's tested to the extreme — validated at temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C, and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
Forged build: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure by keeping contaminants out of the joint.
Micron-tolerance machining: machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
The ball joint is a pivoting connection between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to move up and down and turn while locating the suspension. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front lower ball joint is the cause, this Delphi unit replaces it.
It's a direct-fit front lower ball joint for the 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
