Delphi Suspension Ball Joint P/N:TC3681
$152.99

Keep steering tight and suspension movement controlled with the Delphi ball joint TC3681, a front lower suspension ball joint that pivots the control arm to the steering knuckle while carrying and locating the wheel through its range of motion. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz C300 and the 2016-2018 Mercedes-Benz C350E (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). If a worn joint is behind your clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, or uneven front tire wear, this part replaces the failed original.

Delphi applies its OE expertise to its aftermarket steering line, testing parts below -40°C and above 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.

  • High-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
  • Chloroprene rubber boot to improve durability and help prevent premature failure.
  • Machined to micron tolerances for durable, smooth joint operation.
  • Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Ball joints wear as a pair on an axle — inspect the opposite side and replace as needed for balanced steering.

Does this fit my mercedes C300 ball joint replacement?

What are signs this ball joint may need replacing?

Clunking over the front end, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear can all point to a worn ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

What type of boot does it use?

It uses a chloroprene rubber boot, which Delphi specifies to improve durability and help prevent premature failure of the joint.

Should I replace both sides at once?

Ball joints wear as a pair on an axle, so it's good practice to inspect the opposite side and replace as needed for balanced, predictable steering.
