Delphi TC1622 is engineered as a rear lower suspension ball joint for a wide range of GM full-size cars, including Buick LeSabre, Buick Park Avenue, Oldsmobile 88, Oldsmobile 98, Oldsmobile Delta 88, Oldsmobile LSS, Oldsmobile Regency, Pontiac Bonneville, and Cadillac DeVille, Fleetwood, and Commercial Chassis applications. It also lists front lower fitment for the 1988 Pontiac Fiero.

Delphi validates its steering and suspension components through temperature and corrosion exposure testing, including sub-zero and high-heat conditions plus extended salt spray testing.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K5297 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

  • Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
  • Excessive play in the lower suspension joint
  • Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
  • Loose or unstable handling over bumps and turns
  • Inspection failure due to worn ball joint components

Installation Notes

TC1622 uses a press-in mounting style, so proper suspension service tools are required for installation and removal. Verify the vehicle position carefully before ordering, since this part is listed for rear lower applications on most vehicles and front lower on the 1988 Pontiac Fiero. Confirm stud taper, thread size, and mounting dimensions against the original part before pressing the joint into place.

Quality Assurance

The part is tested for extreme temperature exposure and salt spray resistance to reflect demanding undercar conditions. Part number TC1622 is built as a standard replacement suspension ball joint for service on compatible Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Pontiac applications.
