Help keep the rear wheel properly located with the Delphi Control Arm TC5298, a direct-fit 2009-2012 Subaru Forester control arm that also fits the 2008-2012 Subaru Impreza. It is cataloged for the rear lower rearward position and links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's structure so the rear suspension can move through its travel.
Delphi's OE safety technology is fitted to millions of vehicles worldwide, and the company applies that OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio. Delphi tests its parts at temperature extremes below -40°C and above 120°C, and exposes them to 720 hours of salt spray. Extensive dimensional and material analysis is aimed at close compatibility between the OE part and the aftermarket part.
- Crack and flaw inspection: Every control arm goes through 100% crack detection and ultrasonic flaw detection to check that its materials match OE specifications.
- Robot welding: Robotic welds support consistent performance and quality.
- Precision-machined ball studs: The ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Anti-corrosion protection: Applied to each part to help prevent corrosion and improve appearance.
A worn suspension control arm may show up as clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose handling, uneven tire wear, or visible damage to the arm or its joints. Worn tires, alignment problems and other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim application details.
