Delphi TC7831 Suspension Ball Joint - Front Upper

OE-Style Front Upper Ball Joint

Delphi TC7831 is a front upper suspension ball joint built for direct replacement on a wide range of Honda and Acura applications. It uses a press-in mounting design, a threaded tapered stud, and OE-focused dimensional control to support proper suspension geometry on vehicles such as the Honda Civic, Acura TL, and Honda Accord.

Key Features

• Steel construction with a gray finish
• Front upper position for non-adjustable suspension applications
• Press-in mounting type with threaded, tapered stud
• Dust boot included with chloroprene rubber material
• Castle nut, cotter pin, cotter pin hole, and mounting hardware included
• Grease fitting not included
• Standard replacement item grade
• Maximum outside diameter: 1.73 in.

Detailed Description

Delphi TC7831 is engineered as an OE-style suspension ball joint for front upper use. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to match OE fit and function, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to support durability in real-world driving conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-4802 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for vehicles including the Honda Civic, Acura Integra, and Acura TL, where precise front suspension articulation is important for steering response and tire wear control.

What This Part Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or play from a worn upper 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 movement on press-in front upper applications
