Delphi TC5531 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Lower Forward

OE-Style Rear Lower Forward Control Arm

The Delphi TC5531 suspension control arm is a standard replacement part for select Honda applications, including Civic, Civic del Sol, and CR-V models. Built from stamped steel with a black cataphoresis finish, it is engineered for rear lower forward suspension service where consistent geometry and durable corrosion resistance matter.

Fits 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, rear lower forward. Fits 1996-2000 Honda Civic, rear lower forward. Fits 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, rear lower forward.

Key Features

• Delphi TC5531 suspension control arm for rear lower forward position
• Stamped steel construction with a straight shape
• Black cataphoresis finish for added surface protection
• Natural rubber bushings included
• Standard replacement grade for OE-style suspension service
• Dimensions: 139.5 length and 30.0 height

Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to this suspension control arm to support proper fit and suspension alignment on the listed Honda vehicles. The TC5531 uses steel construction, rubber bearing material, and included bushings to restore the rear lower forward control arm mounting point with a direct replacement design. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK641875 for the same application.

For Honda Civic, Honda Civic del Sol, and Honda CR-V rear suspension repair, Delphi TC5531 provides a practical OE-style replacement where worn bushings, corrosion, or arm deformation have affected ride quality and alignment stability.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear suspension clunking caused by worn control arm bushings
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry changes
• Excessive rear-end looseness or instability over bumps
• Corrosion damage on the original rear lower forward arm
• Alignment issues after suspension wear or component fatigue

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and rear lower forward position before installation.
• Inspect adjacent suspension bushings and mounting points for wear or damage during replacement.
• Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware separately as needed.
• Have the vehicle aligned after installation to verify suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests its OE-style steering and suspension components under extreme temperature and salt-spray conditions to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The TC5531 is built as a standard replacement control arm for consistent fit and material compatibility on the listed Honda applications.
