Detailed Description

Delphi TC6217 is a rear lower forward suspension control arm engineered for OE-style replacement on the Acura TL. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper part-to-vehicle compatibility, while its OE-focused testing includes exposure to extreme temperatures and extended salt spray conditions. The result is a control arm built to meet the demands of everyday suspension service.

Constructed from steel with a tubular design, this control arm includes black natural rubber bushings and an adjustable layout to help restore rear suspension positioning. The black cataphoresis finish adds another layer of protection for long-term durability in underbody environments. Delphi TC6217 also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK641861 for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Rear suspension clunking or looseness on Acura TL models
• Uneven tire wear related to rear alignment issues
• Worn or cracked control arm bushings
• Restoring rear lower forward suspension geometry
• Replacing a bent or corroded control arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower forward position before installation and confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year and suspension layout. Mounting hardware is not included, so inspect existing fasteners and replace any worn hardware as needed. Because this arm is adjustable, a professional alignment is recommended after installation to set rear suspension angles correctly.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and validation methods for its steering and suspension components. TC6217 is tested for temperature extremes and salt spray exposure to support durability in real-world driving conditions.
