Compatible with Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Police Responder Hybrid, and Ford SSV Plug-In Hybrid applications, this control arm is built around OE-focused dimensional and material analysis. Delphi TC3480 is a practical choice when replacing worn suspension components on a Ford Fusion or Lincoln MKZ rear upper position.

Key Features

• Stamped steel construction with a bent shape for suspension geometry.
• Painted black finish for added surface protection.

Detailed Description

Delphi TC3480 is engineered as a rear upper suspension control arm for select Ford and Lincoln vehicles. The stamped steel body, black painted finish, and rubber bushing construction provide a service-ready replacement for worn or damaged original components. Its non-adjustable design and OE-based dimensional analysis help maintain proper fitment for the intended applications.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK643184 for the same application. It is a relevant replacement for Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ owners looking for a rear upper control arm that follows OE-style dimensions and material selection. The part number TC3480 is also useful when verifying the correct suspension control arm before ordering.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn rear upper control arm.
• Addressing suspension looseness or excess play.
• Restoring proper rear suspension geometry.
• Replacing cracked or deteriorated rubber bushings.
• Servicing a bent or damaged stamped steel arm.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear upper fitment before installation and match the part number TC3480 to the vehicle application. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware separately if required by the repair procedure. Inspect adjacent suspension components and alignment settings during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing and material analysis to this control arm. The brand subjects parts to extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance in demanding service conditions.
