Detailed Description

Delphi TC2143 is a rear upper rearward suspension control arm built for the Saab 9-3 platform. The pressed steel, stamped design supports OE-style dimensional accuracy, while the rubber and steel bushings help maintain proper suspension articulation and mounting stability. Delphi applies OE-level material and dimensional analysis to improve part-to-vehicle compatibility, and its testing includes extreme temperature exposure and salt spray validation for corrosion resistance. If you are replacing a worn rear suspension control arm on a 2003-2011 Saab 9-3, TC2143 provides a direct-fit service part for the specified position.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK640742 and Dorman - OE Solutions 523-016 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or clunking from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Excessive rear-end movement over bumps or during cornering
• Alignment issues related to a damaged rear upper rearward arm
• Corrosion-related replacement needs on the Saab 9-3 rear suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TC2143 in the rear upper rearward position only on confirmed 2003-2011 Saab 9-3 applications. Verify the press-in ball joint style and bushing orientation before installation, and inspect adjacent rear suspension components for wear at the same time. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required hardware separately as needed. A professional alignment is recommended after replacement to restore rear suspension settings.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates its OE-based steering and suspension parts through dimensional and material analysis, along with environmental testing that includes sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt spray testing.
