Steady up your steering and control the load with the Delphi ball joint TC5293, a rear lower suspension ball joint built with Delphi's OE safety technology. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Ford Expedition and 2007-2012 Lincoln Navigator, backed by Delphi's extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
OE-level testing: validated at temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
Forged strength: manufactured with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
Chloroprene rubber boot: improves durability and helps prevent premature failure.
Precision + protection: machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation, with anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
The ball joint locates the control arm to the steering knuckle and lets the suspension pivot and travel. Common signs it may need replacing include clunking or popping over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn rear lower ball joint is the cause, this 2007-2012 Ford Expedition ball joint replacement addresses it. Sold individually; ball joints install as a matched pair per axle, so replacing both sides together is good practice.
