Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to this suspension stabilizer bar link to help ensure proper fit and function in the aftermarket. The TC5497 is a rear link with 10 mm bolt thread size, regular grade construction, and plastic bearing material, making it a direct service part for vehicles that need a stable rear sway bar connection. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-5501 for the same application.

Compatible With 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, rear; 2005-2008 Nissan Maxima, rear; and 2004 Nissan Maxima, rear from 12/2003. If you are replacing a worn rear stabilizer link on a Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima, Delphi TC5497 provides the correct rear-position fitment for these listed vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension over bumps
• Excessive play in the rear stabilizer bar connection
• Loose or worn ball joint movement at the link ends
• Reduced rear suspension stability during cornering
• Noise caused by a damaged or missing dust boot

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear-position fitment before installation and verify the vehicle build date for the 2004 Nissan Maxima, which applies from 12/2003. Inspect the stabilizer bar, mounting points, and adjacent suspension components for wear before replacing the link. Torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification and check alignment-related symptoms after installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-based steering and suspension parts to temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt spray testing. The TC5497 is engineered using dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style compatibility for the listed Nissan applications.
