Detailed Description

Delphi TC8177 is engineered as a rear right lower forward lateral arm for Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima models. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and alignment with the original suspension layout. The arm uses SAPH440 steel and neoprene rubber bushings to support stable rear suspension movement and consistent handling characteristics.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK643356 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn rear suspension lateral arm on a Nissan Altima or Nissan Maxima, Delphi TC8177 provides a direct-fit service part for the specified position.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking over bumps
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn rear control geometry
• Loose or unstable rear-end feel during cornering
• Excessive play from deteriorated bushings
• Alignment issues after suspension wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear right lower forward position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, bushings, and alignment settings during replacement. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed for the vehicle application. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work is completed.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests its OE-based steering and suspension components across extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand also uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-to-aftermarket compatibility for Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima fitment.
