Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TC1016 ball joint requires basic suspension knowledge and tools. Since the part includes mounting hardware but no grease fitting, no additional lubrication is necessary during installation.

This ball joint is not adjustable and does not include a cotter pin or castle nut, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s suspension setup before installation.
