Detailed Description

Delphi TC6817 is engineered as an OE-style suspension ball joint for vehicles that require accurate front-end articulation and stable wheel control. Delphi applies OE dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper part-to-vehicle matching, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references Dorman - Premium BJ60214PR and BJ60214XL for the same application.

For shoppers searching for a front right lower ball joint for Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Optima, or Hyundai Sonata, TC6817 provides a direct-fit replacement option for the listed applications. The bolt-on design, included dust boot, and steel construction make it a practical choice when restoring suspension geometry and steering response.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn lower ball joint
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension joint wear
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Restoring proper suspension articulation on the front right lower corner

Installation Notes

Verify the front right lower position before installation and compare the original part’s mounting style, stud type, and dimensions to the replacement. Use the included mounting bolts and nuts as specified for the application, and inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware for wear before reassembly. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to confirm correct suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and validation methods for its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. TC6817 is evaluated for temperature resistance and corrosion exposure, with dimensional and material checks used to support fit and function on the listed Hyundai and Kia applications.
