Detailed Description

Delphi TC2256 is a suspension control arm engineered for rear upper applications on vehicles such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3, and Audi TT Quattro.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK640613 and Beck/Arnley 102-5989 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear suspension looseness or excess movement
  • Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
  • Uneven tire wear related to rear suspension wear
  • Imprecise rear suspension alignment after component wear
  • Restoration of OE-style rear upper control arm geometry

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Confirm the vehicle’s rear upper application before ordering; fitment varies by model year and platform.
  • Because the ball joint is not included, verify the condition of the existing joint and related mounting points.
  • Mounting hardware is not included, so inspect reusable fasteners for wear or corrosion before installation.
  • After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to verify rear suspension settings.
  • Check bushing orientation and torque fasteners at ride height when required by the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering and suspension components across extreme temperature and salt-spray conditions to evaluate durability and OE-level performance. TC2256 is backed by Delphi’s OE engineering approach and material validation for the listed Volkswagen and Audi rear upper applications.
