Delphi TC5872 Rear Forward Suspension Control Arm

The Delphi TC5872 is a standard replacement suspension control arm built for rear forward applications on select Hyundai and Kia models. It uses a steel arm with a black cataphoresis finish and natural rubber bushings to match OE-style fit and suspension movement.

• Natural rubber bushings included
• Rear forward position
• Straight arm shape
• Standard replacement grade
• Length and mounting hole distance: 479.0
• Pre-greased: No
• Ball joint not included
• Mounting hardware not included

OE-Style Fit and Material Details

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to aftermarket steering and suspension parts, helping maintain proper compatibility between the replacement arm and the original suspension layout. The TC5872 is engineered for rear forward placement and is listed for 2005-2009 Kia Sportage, 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, and 2010 Kia Sportage built to 01/26/2010. This Delphi TC5872 control arm is a direct-fit suspension replacement for drivers servicing rear suspension wear on Tucson and Sportage applications.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6834 and Dorman OE Solutions 522-378 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive rear suspension looseness or play
• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension area
• Uneven tire wear related to worn control arm bushings
• Imprecise rear suspension geometry after bushing wear
• Cracked or deteriorated rubber bushings in the rear forward arm

Installation Notes

Verify rear forward position before installation and compare the original arm length and mounting points to the replacement part. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement to confirm proper geometry on Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-based steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports consistent performance in demanding road conditions and helps the TC5872 meet standard replacement expectations for daily driving.
