Detailed Description

Delphi TC7514 is a suspension ball joint designed for the front upper position on 2009-2011 Kia Borrego models. It uses a press-in mounting style and a tapered stud to match the original suspension layout, while the included rubber dust boot helps protect the joint from road contamination. The standard replacement design is non-greaseable and non-adjustable, making it a direct-fit service part for the listed application. If you are replacing a worn front upper ball joint on a Kia Borrego, TC7514 provides an OE-focused solution backed by Delphi’s aftermarket steering and suspension expertise. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500233 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn upper ball joint
• Excessive steering play or looseness
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension joint wear
• Suspension noise over bumps or during turning
• Loss of precise front suspension articulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2009-2011 Kia Borrego with the front upper ball joint application before ordering. Because this is a press-in design, proper removal and installation tools are required, along with correct alignment procedures after service. Inspect the surrounding control arm and related suspension components for wear before installation, and confirm the tapered stud, castle nut, and cotter pin are seated and secured to specification.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering and suspension parts under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-level compatibility between the original and replacement part.
