Detailed Description

Delphi TC1116 is engineered for the front left lower position and is built to match OE-style dimensions and material requirements for the Mitsubishi Mirage and Dodge Colt. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to support fitment consistency, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding undercar conditions. This makes TC1116 a practical replacement for worn front suspension components on 1993-1996 Mitsubishi Mirage and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt models.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS20118 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn ball joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Steering wander related to worn control arm bushings
• Noise or vibration from deteriorated lower suspension components
• Restoring front left lower suspension support on Mirage and Colt models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left lower position before installation and compare the original arm, bushing layout, and mounting hole dimensions to the removed part. Because the ball joint is press-in and the stud is threaded, proper suspension service tools and torque procedures are important for correct installation. Delphi TC1116 includes mounting hardware and is pre-greased, so no grease fitting service is required after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering for its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. TC1116 is built with OE compatibility in mind and is evaluated for temperature resistance and corrosion exposure to support consistent replacement quality.
