Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TC1630 is a suspension ball joint for the front lower position on Ford E-Series vans and related models. It is built with an alloy steel SAE 5140 ball and a carbon steel SAE 1040 housing, along with a tapered threaded stud for secure suspension connection. Delphi validates its OE-style aftermarket parts through dimensional and material analysis, and the component is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to support long-term durability in real-world driving.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K80197 and Mevotech Supreme MK80197 for the same application. If you are servicing a Ford E-350 Super Duty front lower suspension, or replacing a worn joint on an E-150 or E-250, Delphi TC1630 provides a direct replacement option with the correct fitment profile.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or play caused by a worn lower ball joint
• Clunking or popping noises from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension joint wear
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Binding or rough suspension movement at the lower control arm connection
