Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE engineering and dimensional analysis to this rear suspension control arm to help maintain proper alignment and suspension movement. The TC7428 is built from steel with a stamped design, black finish, and integrated bushings to match the original-style mounting layout on the rear lower rearward position for many Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS applications. This part number, TC7428, is a direct-fit replacement choice for drivers servicing worn rear suspension components on these platforms.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 522-797 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension clunking from worn control arm bushings
• Excessive rear wheel movement caused by fatigued suspension links
• Uneven tire wear related to rear suspension looseness
• Imprecise rear-end tracking during braking or cornering
• Restoration of OE-style rear suspension geometry after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the exact rear position before ordering; this part fits rear lower and rear lower rearward applications depending on vehicle.
• Inspect adjacent bushings, links, and mounting points before installation.
• Alignment inspection is recommended after replacing suspension control arms.
• Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace hardware as required by the vehicle service procedure.
• Confirm fitment by year, make, model, and position for Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-based steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, along with dimensional and material checks, to support consistent fit and durability. The TC7428 is built to standard replacement expectations for rear suspension service.
