Detailed Description

Delphi TC5958 is engineered for the front right position on 2002-2006 Lincoln LS and 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird models listed below. Delphi applies OE-focused engineering to its steering and suspension aftermarket parts, using dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and function. The part is tested for harsh operating conditions, including temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt spray exposure for corrosion resistance validation.
