Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:TC1346
Help keep the rear wheel properly located and the suspension moving smoothly with the Delphi TC4526 control arm with ball joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 2014 Subaru Forester and the 2013-2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. It installs in the rear right upper position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio. This Delphi control arm is tested to the extreme for OE performance. Delphi parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and are exposed to 720 hours of salt spray. Dimensional and material analysis is used to keep the aftermarket part closely compatible with the OE part.
The upper control arm connects the rear wheel's knuckle to the chassis and holds it in position. The included ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the suspension moves. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking from the rear over bumps, looseness or play at the ball joint, uneven tire wear, and wandering. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, TC4526 replaces both in one assembly.
