Detailed Description
Delphi TC4169 is engineered as a front lower ball joint for Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 trucks from 1997 through 1999. It uses a press-in installation style, a tapered threaded stud, and a plastic bearing type with a rubber dust boot for serviceable suspension operation. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit between the original suspension geometry and the replacement part. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K7269 for the same application.
Common Repair Uses
- Restoring front suspension joint movement on Ram HD trucks
- Replacing worn or loose lower ball joints
- Addressing front-end clunking or play during steering input
- Correcting uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
- Servicing a damaged dust boot or greaseable joint assembly
Installation Notes
Verify front lower position and left-thread orientation before installation. Because this is a press-in ball joint, proper suspension service tools are required for removal and installation. Inspect the control arm, steering components, and surrounding hardware for wear before reassembly. Grease the joint through the fitting after installation if service procedures call for it.
Quality Assurance
Delphi subjects its OE-style steering and suspension parts to temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt-spray exposure, to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. Delphi TC4169 is built using OE-based engineering and dimensional checks to support consistent fitment on the listed Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models.
