Detailed Description

Delphi TC5028 is engineered as a rear upper suspension control arm with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for proper fit and function. Delphi applies its OE experience to the aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio, and this part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to support long-term service in demanding conditions. It is a direct replacement choice for 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006-2011 Mercury Milan, 2004-2007 Mazda 6, and 2006 Lincoln Zephyr rear upper applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear upper fitment by year, make, model, and non-adjustable configuration before installation. This control arm includes bushings and does not include a ball joint. Inspect related suspension components, mounting points, and fasteners for wear before completing the repair. Proper alignment should be checked after suspension work is finished.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation to support fit and performance. The part is evaluated for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and for 720 hours of salt spray exposure to help verify durability in harsh conditions.
