Detailed Description

Delphi TC4202 is engineered for front upper suspension service on applications such as the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original suspension geometry.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K500340 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-style steering and suspension components to temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C, along with extended salt-spray exposure testing. That validation process supports consistent fitment and durability for service on Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Silverado 1500, and Sierra 1500 applications.
