Help keep the rear suspension properly located with the Delphi control arm TC5028, a rear upper suspension control arm backed by Delphi's OE engineering expertise. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2011 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio. Its parts are tested to the extreme: they are exposed to temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and to 720 hours of salt spray. Extensive dimensional and material analysis is aimed at the closest possible compatibility between the OE and aftermarket part.
- Crack and flaw detection: Delphi control arms undergo 100% crack detection and ultrasonic flaw detection to check that the materials match OE specifications.
- Robot welding: Robotic welds give consistent performance and quality.
- Precision ball studs: Delphi machines the ball studs to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: Applied to each part for corrosion prevention and a cleaner appearance.
The control arm connects the wheel assembly to the chassis and helps hold wheel position as the suspension moves. Signs it may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose handling, uneven tire wear, or visible damage to the arm or its joint. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
