Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TC2078 ball joint requires pressing the unit into the suspension arm. The included mounting hardware and nuts facilitate proper attachment. Since the ball joint is non-greaseable and does not include a grease fitting, ensure the dust boot is intact and properly seated to maintain protection. It is recommended to have alignment checked after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
