Detailed Description

Delphi TC4167 is engineered as a front lower suspension ball joint for 2001-2004 Volvo S40 and 2001-2004 Volvo V40 applications. Delphi applies OE-focused testing and dimensional analysis to help ensure proper fit and consistent suspension geometry in the aftermarket. This ball joint uses a press-in mounting style, a tapered threaded stud, a plastic bearing type, and a rubber dust boot for serviceable protection at the joint.

The unit is pre-greased and supplied as a complete ball joint assembly with mounting hardware included. It is a standard replacement part with no grease fitting, no greaseable service point, and no adjustable design. For shoppers searching for a Volvo S40 front lower ball joint or Volvo V40 front lower suspension ball joint, TC4167 provides a direct replacement option backed by Delphi OE engineering.

This part cross-references Suspensia X53BJ4540 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn lower ball joint
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension joint wear
• Steering wander or reduced road feel in the front end
• Suspension geometry issues caused by joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

TC4167 installs as a press-in front lower ball joint and should be matched to the listed Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 fitment before service. Confirm the left-thread direction, tapered stud dimensions, and front lower position during replacement. Because this is a suspension component, professional installation and a post-repair alignment are recommended after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-style steering and suspension parts to temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure to extreme hot and cold conditions and extended salt-spray testing. That OE-based validation supports consistent fit and durability for TC4167 in everyday service.
