Detailed Description

Delphi TC1051 is a suspension control arm for the front left lower position on select Mercedes-Benz C-Class and SLK-Class vehicles. It is engineered as a standard replacement part with pressed steel construction, a stamped design, and a coated finish to support long-term durability in everyday driving conditions. The included bushings use a rubber-and-steel design to help restore suspension location and control.

Delphi applies OE-based testing and material analysis to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing. This helps support dimensional accuracy and material compatibility for Mercedes-Benz C220, C230, C280, C36 AMG, C43 AMG, CLK55 AMG, SLK230, SLK320, and SLK32 AMG applications. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6269 and Mevotech Supreme CMS101022 for the same application. Delphi TC1051 is a direct-fit choice for front left lower control arm replacement on compatible Mercedes-Benz models.
