Detailed Description

Delphi TC5528 is engineered for front upper suspension service where precise joint movement and OE-style fit are required. It measures 58.0 mm in maximum outside diameter, 100 mm in length, and 3.937 in height, with a press-in mounting type and tapered stud geometry for proper seating in the suspension knuckle. The dust boot helps protect the joint from road contamination, while the steel body supports durability in everyday driving conditions. This part cross-references Mopar 68217808AB and 68217809AB for the same application. It also serves as a direct replacement option for 2011-2015 Dodge Durango and 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee front upper positions, including Delphi TC5528 applications commonly searched by vehicle owners and repair shops.

Common Repair Uses

• Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn upper ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension joint play
• Steering wander or reduced front suspension stability
• Inspection failure due to excessive joint movement
• Restoring proper alignment retention after suspension wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the exact position before ordering, since this part is listed for front left upper and front right upper applications. Because the design is press-in, proper removal and installation tools are required for service. Confirm stud taper, thread size, and mounting dimensions against the original part before installation on your Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee. After replacement, a professional alignment is recommended.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure fit consistency between original and replacement parts. The TC5528 is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate corrosion resistance.
