Delphi TC6163 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Upper

Delphi Rear Upper Suspension Control Arm TC6163

Delphi TC6163 is a rear upper suspension control arm built as a standard replacement for select Acura and Honda applications. It uses stamped steel construction with a black cataphoresis finish and includes bushings for a direct service replacement on the rear suspension.

Key Features

• Rear upper suspension control arm for select Acura RSX, Acura EL, and Honda Civic models
• Stamped steel construction for OE-style strength and fit
• Black cataphoresis finish for added corrosion resistance
• Bushings included; ball joint not included
• Non-adjustable design with straight shape
• Delphi part number TC6163

Detailed Description

Delphi TC6163 is engineered as a standard replacement suspension control arm for the rear upper position. It is made from steel with a stamped construction and finished in black cataphoresis to help resist environmental exposure. The arm measures 221.5 mm between mounting holes and includes bushings, while omitting a grease fitting, ball joint, and mounting hardware. This makes it a focused replacement for worn rear suspension components on 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2001-2005 Acura EL, and 2003-2005 Honda Civic models with the adjustable-type rear upper application. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper part-to-vehicle compatibility, and the part is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure during development. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-6016 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or excess movement
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Imprecise rear suspension geometry after component fatigue
• Replacement needs for a damaged or corroded rear upper control arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2002-2006 Acura RSX, rear upper; Fits 2001-2005 Acura EL, rear upper; Fits 2003-2005 Honda Civic, rear upper. Verify the adjustable-type rear upper application before ordering, and compare the original arm length, mounting-hole spacing, and bushing layout to the OE part. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as needed. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work to confirm rear geometry and tire tracking. Delphi TC6163 should be installed on vehicles matching the listed fitment only.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this control arm using OE-focused engineering practices and validation methods, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for heat and salt exposure. The result is a replacement suspension component intended to meet the demands of everyday road use on Acura RSX, Acura EL, and Honda Civic rear suspension systems.
