Delphi TC5881 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Lower Rearward

OE-Style Rear Suspension Control Arm

Delphi TC5881 is a standard replacement suspension control arm for the rear lower rearward position on select Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus models. Built from steel with a black cataphoresis finish, it is made for direct-fit service where rear suspension geometry and bushing condition matter.

Fits 2001-2006 Chrysler Sebring, rear lower rearward. Fits 2004-2006 Dodge Stratus, rear lower rearward. Fits 2001-2003 Dodge Stratus, rear lower rearward.

Key Features

• Steel construction for structural strength
• Black cataphoresis finish for corrosion resistance
• Rubber bearing type with natural rubber bushings
• Bushings included; ball joint not included
• Standard replacement part for the rear lower rearward suspension position
• Delphi part number TC5881

Detailed Description

Delphi TC5881 is engineered as an OE-style suspension control arm for the rear lower rearward location. It uses a straight steel arm design with black bushings and natural rubber bushing material to support suspension articulation while maintaining the intended rear alignment characteristics on Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus applications. The cataphoresis finish adds a protective coating suited to demanding underbody conditions.

Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper OE-to-aftermarket fit, and its steering and suspension components are tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 522-252 for the same application. Delphi TC5881 is a practical replacement choice when servicing rear suspension wear on the Sebring and Stratus platform.

What This Part Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Clunking or knocking from the rear lower suspension area
• Rear alignment drift caused by arm wear or deformation
• Uneven tire wear related to rear suspension geometry issues
• Handling instability from deteriorated rear control arm components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a stamped steel rear arm and the adjustable-type rear lower rearward position before ordering. This application is listed for Chrysler Sebring 2001-2006 and Dodge Stratus 2001-2006 in the rear lower rearward location, with notes for camber up to 3-1/2 degrees on the specified models. Mounting hardware is not included, and the ball joint is not included.

After installation, perform a rear alignment check to confirm camber and suspension geometry are within specification. Delphi TC5881 should be matched to the exact vehicle configuration shown in the fitment data for proper service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this control arm with OE-focused engineering and validation practices, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for temperature and corrosion exposure. The result is a standard replacement suspension component built to meet the demands of everyday rear suspension service on Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus models.
