The ball joint is machined and includes a threaded stud with a 0.47 inch (12.0 mm) thread diameter and a stud length of 3.31 inches (84.0 mm), providing secure mounting and reliable articulation. The assembly is pre-greased, eliminating the need for additional lubrication during installation, although it does not include a grease fitting and is not greaseable after installation. The rubber bushings help absorb road vibrations and contribute to a smoother ride. The control arm measures approximately 13.58 inches (345.0 mm) in length and 12.0 inches (305.0 mm) in width, finished in black for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Delphi suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is compatible with the following vehicles:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban 1500, Tahoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon XL 1500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically designed for the front left upper suspension position, the TC5189 part number ensures proper fitment and function for these models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Suspension Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn or damaged control arm bushings causing steering instability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall joint wear leading to uneven tire wear or clunking noises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension misalignment affecting vehicle handling and safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration and harshness from deteriorated suspension components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of corroded or bent control arms after impact damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the Delphi TC5189 control arm assembly should be performed by a qualified technician.
