Help keep the front suspension located and the wheel pivoting smoothly with the Delphi control arm TC1282, a front right lower rearward arm with the ball joint built in. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2009-2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK300, 2005-2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 and 2005-2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
As a control arm and ball joint assembly, it connects the chassis to the steering knuckle through the ball joint, so the wheel can pivot as you steer. Delphi uses its OE expertise and dimensional and material analysis to aim for close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
Signs this arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and so is a wheel alignment afterward.
