Delphi TC2202 Suspension Ball Joint - Front Upper

Delphi TC2202 Front Upper Ball Joint

Delphi TC2202 is a standard replacement suspension ball joint built for front upper applications on select Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, and Isuzu vehicles. It combines OE-based dimensional and material analysis with durability testing for demanding temperature and corrosion exposure.

• Steel construction with a gray finish
• Ball joint assembly with dust boot included
• Grease fitting included for serviceable lubrication
• Castle nut, cotter pin, cotter pin hole, and mounting hardware included
• Bolt-on mounting type with 4 mounting holes
• Standard replacement, non-adjustable design
• Tapered stud with threaded stud design
• Cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K5320 and Mevotech Supreme MK5320 for the same application

OE-Based Fit and Construction

Built from steel and engineered around OE dimensions, Delphi TC2202 is made to match the original suspension geometry on front upper positions. The dust boot uses chloroprene rubber (CR) to help protect the joint, while the included grease fitting supports routine maintenance. Delphi’s OE testing includes exposure to temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray for corrosion evaluation.

What This Ball Joint Helps Address

• Front suspension looseness or play
• Clunking or popping from the upper control arm area
• Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension joints
• Steering wander caused by excess joint movement
• Restoration of proper front-end alignment geometry

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front upper position and compare the original joint dimensions before installation. This bolt-on design uses four mounting holes, a tapered stud, and threaded stud hardware; confirm the mounting pattern, stud taper, and thread size match the vehicle before pressing the suspension back into service. After installation, have the alignment checked to confirm camber and caster settings.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support fitment consistency between original and replacement parts. The TC2202 is tested for extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray resistance to evaluate durability in real-world suspension service.
