Product Details

Delphi TC4160 is a front lower suspension ball joint built for the Hyundai Sonata from 1995 through 1998. It uses a press-in design, a threaded stud, and a tapered stud profile to match the original suspension geometry. The unit is pre-greased and sealed with a rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from contamination during normal road use. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper interchange with the original part, and this part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K9855 and Mevotech Supreme MK9855 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front-end looseness or play in the lower suspension joint
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension over bumps
• Uneven tire wear related to worn ball joint geometry
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Service replacement for a worn front lower ball joint on a Hyundai Sonata

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-1998 Hyundai Sonata, front lower. This is a press-in ball joint, so proper suspension service tools are typically required for removal and installation. Verify left-thread orientation, stud taper, and mounting dimensions before assembly. Always confirm vehicle year and position against the existing part and suspension layout before final installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-style steering and suspension components to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray exposure testing. TC4160 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for fit and durability in everyday driving conditions.
