Detailed Description

Delphi TC4201 is engineered for the front lower position on Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford Excursion, Ford F-250 HD, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 applications listed below. Delphi applies OE-style testing and dimensional checks to help ensure proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original suspension geometry. The ball joint is pre-greased, greaseable, and supplied as a complete assembly with a dust boot, castle nut, cotter pin, and mounting hardware.

Built for power steering applications, this press-in ball joint uses a threaded, tapered stud with a left-hand thread direction. The rubber boot helps protect the joint from contamination, while the standard replacement design supports routine suspension service on Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty front lower suspension systems. Use Delphi TC4201 when replacing worn front lower ball joints on trucks that need a direct-fit service part.
