Product Details

Delphi TC1647 is engineered for front lower suspension service where precise fit and dependable articulation matter. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio, helping ensure proper compatibility with the original suspension geometry. The joint uses a press-in design, includes a chloroprene rubber dust boot, and is greaseable for routine maintenance. Delphi also validates parts through extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing to support durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K7147 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or popping from a worn lower ball joint
• Excessive suspension play or looseness in the front end
• Uneven tire wear caused by degraded suspension geometry
• Steering wander or imprecise road feel
• Inspection failure related to worn front lower suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, front lower; 2000-2005 Dodge Neon, front lower; 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, front lower; 2000-2001 Plymouth Neon, front lower; and additional Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front lower applications listed in the fitment data. Because this is a press-in ball joint, proper removal and installation tools are recommended to avoid damage to the control arm or joint bore. Verify suspension orientation, clean the mounting surfaces, and inspect related bushings, tie rod ends, and tires before returning the vehicle to service. Delphi TC1647 is also listed for front lower applications on Chrysler Daytona, LeBaron, Town & Country, New Yorker, Laser, and Dodge Caravan, Shadow, Spirit, and related models.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-oriented testing and material validation for its steering and suspension parts, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing. That process supports consistent fit and corrosion resistance for everyday driving and long-term service.
