Delphi TC5682 Rear Lower Forward Control Arm

Delphi TC5682 is a standard replacement suspension control arm built for the rear lower forward position. It uses stamped steel construction with an E-coat finish, natural rubber bushings, and a straight shape to match OE-style suspension geometry on select Jeep, Dodge, and Mitsubishi applications.

Built from Delphi OE-focused engineering, this control arm is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray for corrosion evaluation. The Delphi TC5682 is a direct-fit suspension control arm for vehicles such as the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Dodge Caliber, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Mitsubishi Outlander in the rear lower forward location.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower forward position before installation and confirm vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment list. Inspect adjacent bushings, fasteners, and suspension mounting points for wear or damage before reassembly. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the correct replacement hardware separately. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work is completed.
