Delphi TC5704 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Upper Forward

Delphi Rear Upper Forward Control Arm

Delphi TC5704 is a suspension control arm built for rear upper forward applications on select Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, and Saturn vehicles. It combines steel construction, a press-in ball joint, and pre-greased components to support precise rear suspension geometry and consistent road feel.

Compatible with 2007-2016 GMC Acadia, 2008-2017 Buick Enclave, 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook, and 2017 GMC Acadia Limited in the rear upper forward position. Delphi TC5704 is engineered using OE-focused dimensional and material analysis for fitment alignment with the original suspension layout.

Key Features

• Steel construction with casting/forged design for suspension strength
• Pre-greased for ready-to-install service
• Ball joint included with press-in mounting type
• Bushings included with rubber bushing material
• Black finish with black and gray bushing color
• Standard replacement part with performance-grade construction
• No grease fitting included
• Adjustable: No

Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TC5704 is a rear upper forward suspension control arm designed for vehicles that use this specific rear suspension location. The arm measures 16.26 inches in length, with a 351.5 mm distance between mounting holes, and uses a plastic bearing type with rubber bushings for controlled movement and isolation. Its OE-based engineering approach focuses on dimensional accuracy and material compatibility, which is important when replacing worn suspension components on the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook platforms.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 522-868 and 523-047 for the same application. The Delphi TC5704 part number is also referenced in OE-style replacement searches for rear upper forward suspension service.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Excessive play caused by a failing press-in ball joint
• Uneven rear suspension movement from fatigued steel arm components
• Alignment instability after wear in the rear upper forward mounting point
• Noise and vibration from deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TC5704 only in the rear upper forward position listed for your vehicle application. Because the ball joint is press-in and mounting hardware is not included, verify the condition of related fasteners and surrounding suspension points before installation. After replacement, a professional alignment check is recommended to confirm rear suspension geometry on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing and material analysis to its steering and suspension components. This control arm is evaluated for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding road conditions, while maintaining dimensional consistency for OE-style fitment.
