Detailed Description
Delphi TC1398 is engineered for rear suspension service on the Mazda Protege and Mazda Protege5. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original suspension layout. The part is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation. This makes TC1398 a practical choice when replacing a worn rear stabilizer bar link on a 1999 Mazda Protege, 2001-2003 Mazda Protege, or 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 without Sport Suspension.
This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K80869 for the same application.
