Detailed Description

Delphi TC6156 is engineered as a standard replacement suspension control arm for rear upper applications on the Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Mercury Marauder. The stamped steel body and OE-focused dimensional analysis help maintain proper alignment and suspension movement, while the natural rubber bushings support controlled articulation and road isolation. Delphi validates its OE-level steering and suspension parts through temperature cycling and salt-spray exposure testing to help confirm durability in demanding conditions.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 522-282 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear suspension looseness or wandering
  • Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
  • Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
  • Excessive rear-end movement over bumps and road joints
  • Restoring proper rear upper control arm function after wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear upper fitment by year, make, model, and suspension configuration before installation. This control arm does not include mounting hardware, so reuse or source the required fasteners as needed. Because the arm is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked after installation to verify suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-based dimensional and material analysis to support fit and function, and its suspension components are tested for extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray resistance. TC6156 is a standard replacement part built to meet the demands of everyday service on compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury rear suspension applications.
