Detailed Description

Delphi TC708 is engineered as a standard replacement suspension ball joint for the front right lower position. It is listed for 1988 Audi 80, 1988 Audi 90, and 1991 Audi 90 applications, including the 1988 Audi 80 front right lower with 17mm pinch bolt note. The bolt-on design, 50.0 mm mounting hole spacing, and included dust boot help support a direct service replacement where OE-style dimensions matter. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to improve part-to-part compatibility with the original suspension layout. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MK9912 for the same application.

Vehicle Fitment

• Fits 1988 Audi 80, front right lower, 17mm pinch bolt

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring steering and suspension joint movement at the front right lower corner
• Replacing a worn or loose ball joint that can cause clunking or play
• Addressing uneven tire wear linked to suspension joint wear
• Correcting front-end looseness during braking or cornering
• Servicing a damaged dust boot before joint contamination worsens

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front right lower position before installation. Confirm the 1988 Audi 80 note for the 17mm pinch bolt application, and compare the original mounting dimensions, bolt thread pitch, and shank diameter to the removed part. Because this is a bolt-on assembly, proper torque and alignment checks after installation are important for suspension performance.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates this ball joint for OE-style performance through temperature cycling and extended corrosion testing. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support fit consistency between OE and aftermarket applications.
