It combines a steel shaft with natural rubber bushings and included mounting hardware to support accurate front suspension service on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Chevrolet Nova.

Key Features

• Front upper suspension control arm shaft kit for OE replacement service
• Steel shaft construction for strength and dimensional stability
• Natural rubber bushings in black for standard suspension isolation
• Instruction manual included for service reference
• Mounting hardware included
• Standard replacement grade with standard shaft type
• Pre-greased: No
• Grease fitting included: No

Detailed Description

Delphi TC5457 is engineered as a standard replacement suspension control arm shaft kit for the front upper position. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and function, and the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to reflect demanding undercar conditions. The steel shaft and natural rubber bushings are specified for direct suspension service on vehicles including the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Nova, Pontiac GTO, Pontiac LeMans, and Chevrolet El Camino. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K5250 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness from worn upper control arm shaft components
• Suspension noise caused by deteriorated bushings
• Uneven steering response from worn OE-style pivot hardware
• Excess play in the front upper suspension mounting point
• Service needs on classic GM A-body and F-body applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front upper position fitment before installation. Inspect the control arm, bushings, and surrounding mounting points for wear or damage before reassembly. Because grease fittings are not included and the part is not pre-greased, follow the service procedure for your vehicle and confirm all fasteners are tightened to specification after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this suspension component with OE-oriented engineering and validation. The part is subjected to temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure, to evaluate durability in harsh service conditions.
