Delphi TC3220 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Lower Forward

Delphi TC3220 Rear Lower Forward Control Arm

Delphi TC3220 is a standard replacement suspension control arm for the rear lower forward position on select Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda applications. Built from steel with a black cataphoresis finish and natural rubber bushings, it supports precise rear suspension geometry for vehicles such as the Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6.

Key Features

• Steel construction with black cataphoresis finish for corrosion resistance
• Natural rubber bushings included; ball joint not included
• Straight arm design with regular-grade construction
• Rear lower forward position coverage for confirmed applications
• OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fit and function
• Delphi TC3220 cross-references MOOG RK641279 and Beck/Arnley 102-6605 for the same application

Detailed Description

This Delphi suspension control arm is engineered for rear lower forward placement and is listed for 2003-2012 Mazda 6, 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan applications. Delphi applies OE-level testing to aftermarket steering and suspension parts, including exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt-spray testing, to verify material durability and dimensional consistency. The TC3220 uses steel construction, black bushings, and natural rubber bearing material to help maintain suspension alignment and ride control in the rear suspension assembly.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Excessive play from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven tire wear caused by rear alignment movement
• Clunking or knocking from worn suspension pivot points
• Restoring rear lower forward suspension geometry on Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering: this part is for the rear lower forward location only. Compare the original arm shape, mounting-hole spacing, and bushing layout to the OE part before installation. Mounting hardware is not included, and the ball joint is not included. Because suspension bushings are loaded at ride height, final tightening should be performed with the vehicle at normal curb height to help avoid premature bushing stress.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering, dimensional checks, and material analysis to support consistent fitment across aftermarket applications. The TC3220 is built to standard replacement specifications and tested for demanding temperature and corrosion conditions to help maintain long-term suspension performance.
