Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper suspension geometry and part-to-vehicle compatibility. The assembly uses stamped steel construction, black painted finish, rubber bushings, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot for the ball joint. It is non-adjustable, non-greaseable, and configured for power steering applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part number, TC3980, is a practical choice when replacing a worn lower control arm on a 2014-2019 Nissan Frontier or a 2014-2015 Nissan Xterra. The assembly includes the ball joint, bushings, dust boot, and mounting hardware, reducing the number of separate components needed during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Repair Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-end clunking or knocking from a worn lower control arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive play from a failing ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracked, torn, or deteriorated suspension bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire wear caused by loose front suspension components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring stable steering response on Frontier and Xterra models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall TC3980 on the front left lower position only. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and suspension configuration before installation, and inspect adjacent components such as the tie rod ends, sway bar links, and alignment settings while the front suspension is apart. Because this is a press-in ball joint design, proper service tools and a post-installation wheel alignment are recommended after replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphi subjects steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style fit and performance for aftermarket replacement parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delphi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435692224693,"sku":"BBMX-TC3980","price":128.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DE_TC3980_FRO.jpg?v=1777861703","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/delphi-tc3980-suspension-control-arm-and-ball-joint-assembly-front-left-lower","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
