Delphi TC5649 Front Upper Ball Joint

Delphi TC5649 is a front upper suspension ball joint built as a standard replacement for select Hyundai applications. It combines a steel body, threaded tapered stud, and included dust boot to support precise steering and suspension movement on the 2006-2007 Hyundai Azera and 2006-2007 Hyundai Sonata.

  • Front upper suspension ball joint assembly
  • Steel construction with gray finish
  • Press-in mounting type
  • Threaded tapered stud with 10.0 mm stud thread diameter
  • Dust boot included; grease fitting not included
  • Castle nut, cotter pin, nuts, and mounting hardware included
  • Standard replacement grade
  • Non-adjustable design

Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TC5649 is engineered for OE-style fit and material compatibility in the front upper suspension position. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help match the aftermarket part to the original application, and the component is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500036 for the same application.

Compatible With 2007 Hyundai Azera, front upper; 2007 Hyundai Sonata, front upper; 2006 Hyundai Azera, front upper, non-adjustable type; and 2006 Hyundai Sonata, front upper, non-adjustable type. The Delphi TC5649 part number is also a useful reference when verifying the correct front upper ball joint for these Hyundai models.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Excessive front suspension play or looseness
  • Clunking or knocking from the upper control arm area
  • Uneven steering response caused by worn ball joint components
  • Suspension noise during turning or road impact
  • Wear-related alignment instability at the front upper position

Installation Notes and Tips

Install as a press-in front upper ball joint and verify the tapered stud, cotter pin hole, and included hardware match the vehicle’s original setup before assembly. Because 2006 Hyundai Azera and 2006 Hyundai Sonata applications are listed as non-adjustable type, confirm the suspension configuration before ordering. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore proper steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering practices and durability testing for its steering and suspension portfolio. TC5649 is built to support consistent fitment and long-term service in the front upper suspension location, and the Delphi TC5649 part number can be used to confirm the correct replacement during parts lookup.
