Product Details

Delphi TC6489 is engineered as a front lower ball joint for the Kia Borrego platform, covering 2009, 2010, and 2011 model years.

  • Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension

  • Steering wander or reduced directional stability
  • Visible boot damage or contamination at the joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm vehicle application before installation: Fits 2009-2011 Kia Borrego, front lower.

Inspect the mating surfaces, fasteners, and adjacent suspension parts before assembly, and verify torque specifications from the vehicle service information. Delphi TC6489 uses a threaded stud with tapered ends, so correct seating and alignment are important during installation.
