Delphi TC2226 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Forward

OE-Style Rear Forward Control Arm

Delphi TC2226 is a suspension control arm built for rear forward applications on select Mercedes-Benz models. It uses aluminum construction with a casting/forged design, neoprene rubber bushings, and a passivated finish to support precise suspension location and consistent fitment.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz E-Class, CLS-Class, and SL-Class rear forward positions, this Delphi control arm is a standard replacement for vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz E320, E350, E550, SL550, and CLS550. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help match the original part geometry and mounting points.

Key Features

• Part number: TC2226
• Aluminum control arm with casting/forged construction
• Rear forward position application
• Neoprene rubber bushings included
• Passivated finish for added surface protection
• Standard replacement grade
• No ball joint included
• No mounting hardware included

Detailed Description

Delphi TC2226 is engineered as a rear forward suspension control arm for Mercedes-Benz applications that require accurate suspension geometry and stable wheel control. The aluminum body and forged/cast construction support a direct replacement profile, while the included bushings help restore the connection point between the chassis and suspension assembly. This part number, TC2226, is listed for multiple Mercedes-Benz rear suspension applications, including E320, E350, E550, CLS550, SL550, SL600, and related models.

Delphi’s OE-focused testing includes exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray conditions, along with dimensional and material verification to support OE-style fit and function. This makes TC2226 a practical choice when replacing a worn rear forward control arm on Mercedes-Benz E-Class, CLS-Class, or SL-Class vehicles.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6294 and Mevotech Supreme CMS101104 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Excessive play from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension movement
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling
• Alignment issues related to worn suspension locating points

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rear forward position fitment before installation.
• Inspect adjacent bushings, links, and mounting points for wear before replacing the arm.
• Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source hardware as needed for the vehicle.
• Professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement.
• Confirm application details for models with special suspension configurations; for example, 2007 Mercedes-Benz E280 without Airmatic Dual Control or air suspension.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional analysis, and environmental testing to support consistent aftermarket replacement quality. TC2226 is built to align with original equipment fitment expectations for select Mercedes-Benz rear suspension applications.
