Delphi TC3225 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Lower or Rear Upper

Delphi TC3225 Rear Suspension Control Arm

Delphi TC3225 is a standard replacement suspension control arm built for rear upper and rear lower applications on select Mini models. It uses pressed steel construction, a stamped shape, and a cataphoresis finish to support consistent fit and corrosion resistance in everyday driving conditions.

Compatible with 2002-2015 Mini Cooper, 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, this Delphi control arm is engineered around OE-style dimensional and material analysis for accurate replacement fitment. The TC3225 is a direct choice when replacing worn rear suspension components on Mini Cooper rear upper or rear lower positions.

Key Features

• Pressed steel, stamped construction for a durable OE-style replacement
• Cataphoresis finish for added surface protection
• Includes bushings with natural rubber (NR) bushing material
• Black finish and black bushing color
• Standard replacement grade with a straight shape
• Non-adjustable design for the listed rear positions
• Fits rear upper and rear lower applications, depending on vehicle configuration

Detailed Description

The Delphi TC3225 suspension control arm is built for rear suspension service on Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman models. Delphi applies OE-focused testing and dimensional analysis to help ensure the part matches the intended mounting points and suspension geometry for the listed applications. This part number, TC3225, is a practical replacement when the original rear control arm shows wear, corrosion, or bushing deterioration.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK641987 and Mevotech Supreme CMK100003 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Imprecise rear wheel alignment after component wear
• Corrosion-related failure of the original rear control arm

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rear upper or rear lower position before ordering and installation.
• Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model for your Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, or Mini Cooper Paceman.
• Mounting hardware is not included.
• Because this is a non-adjustable control arm, final alignment should be checked after installation.
• Inspect adjacent bushings and suspension components during replacement to avoid repeat labor.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering and suspension parts under extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to support OE-level durability expectations. The TC3225 is built as a standard replacement part for the listed Mini rear suspension applications.
