Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2001-2012 Ford Escape, front lower. Fits 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, front lower. Fits 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, front lower. Fits 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner, front lower. Fits 1989-1992 Ford Probe, front lower. Fits 1983-1992 Mazda 626, front lower. Fits 1988-1992 Mazda MX-6, front lower. Verify suspension orientation and press-fit dimensions before installation, and inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting surfaces for wear. Because this is a pressed ball joint assembly, proper press tools and alignment procedures are important for correct service.
Quality Assurance
Delphi applies OE-focused testing to its steering and suspension parts, including exposure to extreme temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus 720 hours of salt spray testing. That testing approach supports corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency for TC589 in demanding road conditions.
