Delphi TC7143 is a standard replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly for the rear right lower forward position. It is built for 1996-2004 Acura RL applications and uses Delphi OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and consistent suspension performance.

Key Features

• Standard replacement suspension control arm and ball joint assembly
• Fits the rear right lower forward position
• Compatible with 1996-2004 Acura RL
• OE-based dimensional and material analysis for fitment accuracy
• Tested for temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray testing for corrosion resistance validation

Detailed Description

Delphi TC7143 is engineered for Acura RL rear suspension service where the lower forward control arm and ball joint assembly needs replacement. Delphi applies OE expertise from its steering and suspension portfolio to the aftermarket part, helping maintain the original suspension geometry on 1996-2004 Acura RL models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Repair Applications

• Rear suspension noise from worn ball joint or bushing wear
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by loose suspension geometry
• Clunking or knocking from the rear right lower forward control arm area
• Restoring stable rear suspension alignment on Acura RL models
• Replacing a fatigued OE-style control arm assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-2004 Acura RL, rear right lower forward. Confirm the position before installation and inspect adjacent suspension components, alignment settings, and fasteners during service. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to verify rear suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates this suspension component with extreme-temperature exposure and extended salt spray testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style compatibility. Part number TC7143 is built as a standard replacement for Acura RL rear suspension service.
