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

Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm vehicle application before installation: Fits 2009-2011 Kia Borrego, front lower. This is a pressed ball joint, so proper removal and installation tools are recommended to avoid damage to the control arm or surrounding components. 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.
