This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500359 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes
TC7869 is a press-in ball joint, so proper suspension service tools are required for removal and installation. Verify stud taper, thread size, and mounting orientation before assembly, and inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware for wear. This part is used on the front upper position for 2015-2020 Ford F-150, 2018-2020 Ford Expedition, and 2018-2020 Lincoln Navigator.
Quality Assurance
Delphi validates its steering and suspension parts with OE-focused dimensional and material checks, plus environmental testing that includes sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt-spray testing. That process supports consistent fitment and corrosion resistance for service replacement use.
