Detailed Description

Delphi TC8261 is engineered for direct replacement service on Acura MDX and Honda Pilot front suspension applications. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit between the original suspension geometry and the aftermarket replacement part. The assembly is tested for extreme temperature exposure and salt spray resistance to support durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references Dorman - Premium CB59424PR for the same application.

Fits 2014-2020 Acura MDX, front right lower. Fits 2016-2021 Honda Pilot, front right lower. Delphi TC8261 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front lower control arm assembly on these vehicles.

Common Repair Uses

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension joints
• Excess play from a failing ball joint or bushing
• Restoring front-end alignment stability after suspension wear

Installation Notes

Verify the front right lower position before installation and confirm fitment against the vehicle’s suspension layout. Because this assembly uses a press-in ball joint and includes a threaded stud, proper torque procedures and alignment checks are recommended after installation. Inspect adjacent bushings, fasteners, and steering components during service to avoid repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this suspension component using OE-based engineering practices and subjects parts to temperature and corrosion testing to help validate durability. The TC8261 is a premium-grade replacement designed around OE-style dimensional and material requirements for consistent service fit.
