Detailed Description

Delphi TC1102 is engineered as a standard replacement front left lower control arm for the 1992-1996 Mazda 626, 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6, 1993-1997 Ford Probe, and 1997 Mazda 626. The stamped steel arm and press-in ball joint help maintain proper wheel location and suspension articulation, while the included bushings support stable mounting at the chassis. Delphi applies OE dimensional and material analysis to improve part-to-vehicle matching, and the assembly is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to verify durability in demanding road environments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K9615 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Front-end clunking or knocking from worn ball joint or bushings
• Loose or inconsistent steering feel from suspension wear
• Uneven tire wear caused by control arm play
• Vehicle pulling or wandering during braking and cornering
• Restoring front left lower suspension geometry after component fatigue

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the front left lower position and verify the 18mm pinch bolt note where applicable before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed. After installation, perform a professional alignment to verify camber and toe settings.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation to support fit and function across aftermarket replacement applications. TC1102 is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure to help confirm durability in service.
