Detailed Product Overview

Delphi TC6226 is engineered as a standard replacement suspension control arm for the front upper position. It measures 477.0 in length with a 60.0 height and uses rubber bearing material with black natural rubber bushings to help maintain suspension articulation and ride control. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and consistent performance, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to evaluate durability. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 521-118 for the same application.

Compatible With 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler, front upper, and 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, front upper. If you are replacing a worn front upper control arm on a Jeep Wrangler or Jeep Wrangler JK, Delphi TC6226 provides a direct-fit service part for the listed applications.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Excessive front suspension play from worn control arm bushings
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front upper suspension area
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry wear
• Steering wander or reduced front-end stability
• Corrosion-related deterioration of the original control arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the mounting points, bushings, and surrounding suspension components before installation. Mounting hardware is not included, and the ball joint is not included, so verify the condition of related parts before reassembly. Because this is a front upper control arm for Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Wrangler JK models, alignment should be checked after installation to confirm proper suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering methods and material analysis to support fit and function in aftermarket steering and suspension parts. The control arm is evaluated for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during testing to assess durability.
