OE-Style Construction and Fit

The Delphi TC1490 is built using stamped steel construction and dimensional analysis to support proper fitment on the front left upper suspension location. Delphi applies OE-focused testing to aftermarket steering and suspension parts, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to help verify durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS10141 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left upper position before installation and compare the original arm, bushing layout, and mounting hole pattern to the Delphi TC1490. Because this assembly is pre-greased and includes mounting hardware, it is ready for installation once the suspension is safely supported and the vehicle is properly aligned after service. A professional alignment is recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE expertise, dimensional checks, and material analysis to support aftermarket steering and suspension fitment. The TC1490 is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to help confirm performance in harsh operating conditions.
