Detailed Description

Delphi TC7253 is a rear suspension control arm designed for Subaru Forester models from 2003 through 2008. It is built from steel with a tubular structure and finished in black cataphoresis to help protect the part in demanding underbody conditions. The included black bushings use natural rubber for a familiar OE-style suspension feel. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to support proper alignment with the original mounting points on the vehicle. This part cross-references Subaru 20250 SA000 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
