Detailed Description

Delphi TC2348 is engineered for front lower suspension service on 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera, 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata, 2009 Hyundai Elantra, and 2007-2009 Kia Amanti. Delphi applies OE dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper part-to-part compatibility, and the component is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to verify durability in demanding environments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500035 for the same application. For shoppers searching for a front lower ball joint for Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Azera, or Kia Amanti, Delphi TC2348 provides a direct-fit service option.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn ball joint
• Clunking or knocking from the lower suspension area
• Uneven steering response caused by joint wear
• Suspension noise during turning or road impact
• Restoration of proper front lower suspension articulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before installation: Fits 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera, front lower; Fits 2006-2010 Hyundai Sonata, front lower; Fits 2009 Hyundai Elantra, front lower with 14mm threads and steering tie rod end compatibility; Fits 2007-2009 Kia Amanti, front lower. Confirm stud thread diameter, taper, and mounting-hole spacing against the removed part before assembly. Because this is a bolt-on design, clean the mounting surfaces and inspect adjacent suspension components for wear before final torque.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this suspension ball joint with OE-level engineering practices, including dimensional and material validation and environmental testing for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure. The result is a replacement part built to meet the demands of daily suspension service on the listed Hyundai and Kia applications.
