Delphi TC6947 Suspension Ball Joint - Front Lower

Delphi TC6947 Front Lower Ball Joint

Delphi TC6947 is a standard replacement suspension ball joint built for front lower applications on select Ram ProMaster vans and the Ram ProMaster EV. It combines a steel body, rubber dust boot, and greaseable design to support steering and suspension service on high-mileage commercial vehicles.

Key Features

• Front lower suspension ball joint assembly for bolt-in installation
• Steel construction with silver finish
• Grease fitting included for serviceable lubrication
• Rubber dust boot included to help protect the joint
• Adjustable design with tapered stud and threaded stud type
• Mounting hardware, washers, and mount plate included
• 19 mm wrench size

Detailed Description

Delphi TC6947 is engineered as an OE-style suspension ball joint for the front lower position. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to improve OE-to-aftermarket fitment, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to reflect demanding road conditions. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500310 and Mevotech Supreme MS25517 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for Ram ProMaster 1500, Ram ProMaster 2500, Ram ProMaster 3500, and Ram ProMaster EV front lower service, including 2014-2025 Ram ProMaster 1500 front lower and 2024-2025 Ram ProMaster EV front lower applications. The Delphi TC6947 is a practical choice when replacing worn front suspension joints on Ram ProMaster vans used for delivery, fleet, or commercial duty.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn lower ball joint
• Clunking or popping noises over bumps and turns
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension joint wear
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Grease loss and contamination at the joint area

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front lower suspension mounting on Ram ProMaster 1500, ProMaster 2500, ProMaster 3500, and ProMaster EV applications listed above. Verify the bolt-in mounting pattern, 3-hole mount plate layout, and 19 mm wrench size before installation. Inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware surfaces for wear or damage, and confirm proper torque during assembly. Because this is a greaseable ball joint, service lubrication should be maintained after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-based steering and suspension components to temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, to validate durability and corrosion resistance expectations for aftermarket service.
