Detailed Description

Delphi TC1074 is engineered for the front left upper suspension position and is built from stamped steel for dependable structural support. The assembly includes a press-in ball joint, threaded stud, and rubber bushings to help maintain proper suspension articulation and alignment characteristics. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support accurate fit and consistent replacement performance on the Acura EL and Honda Civic platforms.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK90451 for the same application. Delphi TC1074 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front left upper control arm on 1997-2000 Acura EL or 1996-2000 Honda Civic models.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play in the upper control arm or ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Vibration or instability from deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TC1074 at the front left upper position only. Because the ball joint is press-in, proper service tools are required for removal and installation. After replacement, inspect alignment settings and verify all mounting points are torqued to specification. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering and suspension components to extreme temperature testing and extended salt-spray exposure, along with dimensional and material checks to support OE-style fit and durability. The TC1074 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for daily-driven Acura EL and Honda Civic applications.
