• Front-end clunking or popping over bumps
• Excessive play in the upper suspension joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Inspection failure due to worn front suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Delphi TC2078 installs in a pressed mounting location, so proper suspension service tools are required for removal and installation. Confirm the front upper position and verify stud taper and thread specifications before assembly. Because this part is non-adjustable, correct installation and alignment checks are important after service on 1990-1997 Honda Accord front upper suspension systems.
