Steady the steering and keep the front wheel located with the Delphi control arm — the TC3237 control arm and ball joint assembly. This unit is a direct-fit front left lower replacement for the 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, and its dimensional and material analysis is aimed at close compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
The lower control arm locates the front wheel and works with its integrated ball joint to allow suspension travel and steering movement. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.

Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can indicate a worn control arm or ball joint. Have the cause diagnosed, since these signs can stem from other components.
How is the Delphi control arm built for durability?
Delphi machines the ball studs to micron tolerances, robot-welds the arm, and applies anti-corrosion protection. Parts are tested from below -40°C to over 120°C plus 720 hours of salt spray.
