• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit and compatibility
• Tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure

Detailed Description

Delphi TC2380 is engineered for rear lower suspension service where a worn ball joint can affect alignment stability, steering response, and suspension articulation. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the aftermarket part matches the original application closely. The steel body, pressed-in design, and included dust boot support consistent operation in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500106 for the same application.

Compatible With select Mercedes-Benz applications including 2006-2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350, 2007-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450, and 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4, rear lower. Delphi TC2380 also matches other rear lower Mercedes-Benz fitments such as R350, GL550, ML550, ML320, R320, ML500, R500, GL320, GL350, and ML450.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Excessive play at the rear lower control arm connection
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension looseness
• Imprecise rear suspension movement over bumps
• Restoring OE-style suspension geometry on worn vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Delphi TC2380 uses a pressed mounting type, so proper removal and installation tools are recommended for service. Inspect the surrounding control arm, fasteners, and mounting surfaces before installation, and verify rear lower position fitment against the vehicle application. This part is listed for Mercedes-Benz models including ML350 and GL450 rear lower applications, so confirm the exact chassis and model year before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering and suspension components to extreme temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That testing, combined with OE-based dimensional and material analysis, supports consistent performance for the Delphi TC2380 ball joint.
