Detailed Description

Delphi TC5070 is engineered as a front suspension ball joint for the front lower position on 1995-1997 Infiniti J30, 1996-1999 Infiniti I30, and select Nissan Maxima applications. It also fits the 1998 Nissan Maxima front left position through 06/1998. This part number, TC5070, is built to match OE-style dimensions and material requirements for direct replacement service on the specified vehicles.

Delphi subjects its steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt spray testing. That validation supports consistent performance in demanding road conditions and helps maintain proper suspension articulation and steering response.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K9818 for the same application.

• Clunking or knocking noises from the lower suspension
