Delphi TC6016 Upper Ball Joint

Order the Delphi TC6016 Upper Ball Joint from XDP to replace the old worn out ball joint on your Ford F-250/350/Excursion today. High-precision ball pin with a smooth finish offers smooth joint operation, extra durability, and superior angle dynamics. Low-friction, high-performance thermoplastic bearing provides smooth movement of the joint and rotational torque to OE specifications for long life. Sealed, high-grade chloroprene rubber boot, improves boot durability with a superior material for higher resistance and performance. Rust-beating cataphoretic coating on housing offers premium protection against salt, dirt, and water corrosion. High-specification grease allows for longer intervals between maintenance.

Delphi Technologies starts with the OE design and conducts extensive dimensional and material analysis to develop our part that will perform reliably on any vehicle. They're passionate about stringent technical standards. Their performance and durability tests subject the ball joint to the same forces it will experience over its lifetime, so it's ready for a long and reliable service life. With Angular stress testing the ball-pin is rotated through its angular and rotational travel under load, measuring the force required to move it when the steering wheel turns. The Pull and push-out test measures the force required for the ball to break away from the housing via pushing or pulling. Climate testing ensures the ball joint will not seize up in extreme temperatures, and the rubber boot will not get brittle. A brittle boot can crack or tear, inviting contaminants in that can cause failure.
