What It Helps Address

- Boot damage that can expose the joint to contamination
- Restoration of proper front lower suspension geometry after wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the vehicle’s front lower application and thread specification before ordering, especially on Kia Forte, Forte Koup, Forte5, and Hyundai Elantra models with 12 mm threads. Verify the mounting hole spacing, stud taper, and position against the removed part. Because this is a bolt-on, non-greaseable assembly, installation should follow the vehicle service procedure and torque specifications for the suspension fasteners.
Quality Assurance
Delphi subjects steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt-spray evaluation. The TC1990 is built using OE-focused engineering practices to support dependable fitment and consistent replacement quality for front lower suspension service.
