Delphi TC5172 Suspension Control Arm - Front Right Lower

OE-Style Front Right Lower Control Arm

Delphi TC5172 is a front right lower suspension control arm built for OE-style replacement on select Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest models. It uses steel construction with a forged/cast design, rubber bushings, and a bolt-in ball joint mounting type for a direct-fit suspension service part.

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and suspension geometry. This front right lower control arm is a standard replacement for 1999-2002 Mercury Villager and 1999-2002 Nissan Quest applications.

Key Features

• Part number: TC5172
• Front right lower suspension control arm
• Steel construction with casting/forged design
• Rubber bushings included
• Bolt-in ball joint mounting type
• Black finish
• Standard replacement grade
• No grease fitting and no adjustable provision

Detailed Description

Delphi TC5172 is engineered as a suspension control arm for the front right lower position. It is built from steel with a black finish and uses rubber bushings to support suspension movement while helping preserve ride quality and alignment stability. The bolt-in ball joint mounting type supports OE-style serviceability, and the non-adjustable design matches the original application requirements for the vehicle platform.

Delphi validates its aftermarket steering and suspension parts with extreme temperature exposure and salt-spray testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to help ensure OE-level fit and compatibility. This makes TC5172 a practical replacement choice for Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest owners servicing worn front suspension components. If you are replacing a front right lower control arm on a 1999-2002 Nissan Quest or 1999-2002 Mercury Villager, Delphi TC5172 is built for that application.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6037 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end looseness or wandering
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Worn or deteriorated control arm bushings
• Suspension play at the front right lower mounting point

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TC5172 in the front right lower position only. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as required by the vehicle. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to verify suspension geometry and steering response. Inspect adjacent components such as ball joints, bushings, and tie rod ends during service to avoid repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and validation methods for its aftermarket steering portfolio. TC5172 is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure, and it is backed by Delphi’s dimensional and material analysis process to support consistent fit and performance.
