• Finished with corrosion-resistant cataphoresis coating in black
• Includes rubber bushings for vibration dampening
• Press-in ball joint mounting type (ball joint not included)
• Standard replacement grade, non-adjustable design
• Compatible with rear rearward position on Audi R32, Volkswagen TT, and TT Quattro

Durable Construction and Design Features

The Delphi TC3265 control arm is made from stamped steel, providing a robust framework to withstand suspension stresses. Its black cataphoresis finish enhances corrosion resistance, extending the part's service life. Rubber bushings are included to reduce noise and absorb road vibrations, contributing to a smoother ride. While the ball joint mounting type is press-in, the ball joint itself is not included, allowing for flexibility in replacement options. This control arm measures approximately 20.473 inches (520 mm) in length and is designed specifically for the rear rearward suspension position.

Compatible Vehicles and Application

This suspension control arm is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Audi R32
• Volkswagen TT
• Volkswagen TT Quattro

It is intended as a standard replacement part to restore proper suspension geometry and handling characteristics on these models.

Common Suspension Issues Addressed

• Worn or damaged control arm bushings causing excessive play
• Corroded or weakened control arm structure affecting alignment
• Suspension noise or vibration due to degraded components
• Reduced handling stability from faulty rear rearward suspension parts
• Uneven tire wear linked to suspension component failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TC3265 control arm requires removal of the old control arm and proper alignment of the new part in the rear rearward suspension position. Since the ball joint is not included, ensure compatibility with your existing ball joint or replace it separately. Use appropriate torque specifications for mounting hardware (not included) and verify suspension alignment after installation to maintain optimal vehicle handling.
