Detailed Description

Delphi TC5844 is built for front upper suspension service on 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2011-2019 Ram 1500 models. This ball joint assembly uses OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fitment between the original suspension geometry and the replacement part. The steel construction, tapered stud, and included rubber dust boot are selected for everyday suspension use in standard replacement applications. If you are replacing a worn front upper ball joint on a Ram 1500, Delphi TC5844 provides a direct-fit service part for the specified model years.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., K100115, K100316) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part May Address

• Front-end clunking or popping from a worn upper ball joint
• Excessive suspension looseness or play
• Uneven tire wear related to worn steering and suspension joints
• Steering wander caused by degraded ball joint movement
• Inspection failure from damaged or worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, front upper. Fits 2011-2019 Ram 1500, front upper. Confirm the vehicle’s camber/toe configuration notes before installation, as listed fitment includes plus or minus 3 degree camber/toe applications. Inspect the surrounding suspension hardware, alignment angles, and mounting surfaces during replacement. Because this is a non-greaseable ball joint, routine service is limited to inspection and replacement when wear is present. Delphi TC5844 is also referenced by part numbers 610.6704 and 5072958AC.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-level testing and dimensional analysis to its steering and suspension portfolio. This ball joint is evaluated for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray testing to help verify durability in demanding conditions.
