Detailed Description

Delphi TC7142 is a suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered for the front left upper location on the Toyota Tacoma. Delphi applies OE-based engineering methods to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to support proper part matching between OE and replacement components. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK623055 for the same application.

Compatible With 2001 Toyota Tacoma, front left upper from 09/2000, and 2002-2004 Toyota Tacoma, front left upper. The Delphi TC7142 is a practical choice when replacing a worn upper control arm and ball joint assembly on Tacoma front suspension systems.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness from a worn upper control arm assembly
• Ball joint wear that can affect steering response
• Suspension noise from play in the front left upper linkage
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry issues
• Alignment problems after suspension component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left upper position before ordering and compare the original part number, including TC7142, against the removed component. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct suspension geometry on the Toyota Tacoma. Confirm the vehicle build date for 2001 Tacoma applications noted as from 09/2000.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates this suspension component with extreme-temperature exposure and salt-spray testing to support OE-style durability expectations. The brand’s OE engineering background and dimensional analysis process are used to improve replacement-part consistency for Tacoma suspension service.
