Delphi TC8269 Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly - Front Lower Rearward

Delphi TC8269 Front Lower Rearward Control Arm

Delphi TC8269 is a front lower rearward suspension control arm and ball joint assembly built for direct replacement on select Tesla applications. It combines an aluminum control arm body with a press-in ball joint, pre-greased construction, and included bushings and mounting hardware for a service-ready repair.

Compatible with Tesla S and Tesla X front lower rearward positions, this Delphi control arm is engineered using OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper suspension geometry and fitment. Delphi also subjects its steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing to verify durability in demanding conditions.

Detailed Description

Delphi TC8269 is built for Tesla suspension service where accurate geometry and OE-style fit are important. The aluminum arm helps reduce unsprung weight, while the press-in ball joint and natural rubber bushings support controlled movement at the front lower rearward suspension location. Delphi’s OE-based engineering approach focuses on dimensional accuracy and material compatibility, helping the aftermarket part align closely with the original application.

This part cross-references 1027351-00-C for the same application. Use Delphi TC8269 when replacing a worn front lower rearward control arm on Tesla S or Tesla X models from the confirmed fitment range.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play from a worn ball joint
• Cracked or deteriorated control arm bushings
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Steering instability or wandering at the front end

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2012-2021 Tesla S, front lower rearward. Fits 2016-2021 Tesla X, front lower rearward. Confirm the front lower rearward mounting location before installation and inspect adjacent suspension components for wear. Because the ball joint is press-in, proper service tools and alignment procedures are recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing and material analysis to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. This includes exposure to temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt-spray testing to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance.
