Product Overview

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help this ball joint match the original suspension geometry and installation requirements. TC4290 is engineered for front lower use on the INFINITI I35, Nissan Maxima, and INFINITI I30, making it a direct replacement choice for worn suspension joints that affect steering feel and front-end stability. This part cross-references Suspensia X36BJ3006 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Front-end clunking or popping over bumps
• Excessive play in the lower suspension joint
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension movement
• Vibration or wandering at the front wheels

Installation Notes

TC4290 uses a press-in mounting style, so proper suspension service tools are recommended for removal and installation. Verify left-hand thread direction, tapered stud orientation, and front lower placement before installation. Always confirm vehicle year, make, and model against the listed fitment for the INFINITI I35, Nissan Maxima, or INFINITI I30.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-style steering and suspension parts to temperature extremes and extended salt-spray exposure testing, along with dimensional and material checks for fit consistency. That testing approach supports reliable replacement performance for TC4290 across the listed applications.
