Detailed Description
Delphi TC4202 is engineered for front upper suspension service on applications such as the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original suspension geometry. The joint is built as a press-in, standard replacement part with a threaded stud, tapered stud ends, and a rubber dust boot for added protection. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500340 for the same application.
