Detailed Description
Delphi TC8456 is a suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered for the front right lower position on the Subaru Forester. It uses a stamped steel arm, rubber bushings, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to support consistent suspension movement and secure mounting. The assembly is pre-greased, non-greaseable, and includes the ball joint, bushings, dust boot, mounting hardware, and locking nut for a complete service replacement. Delphi applies OE-based testing and dimensional analysis to help maintain proper fit and performance across the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Subaru Forester model years. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK622856 for the same application.
Common Repair Applications
- Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm
- Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
- Steering pull or wandering on Subaru Forester front suspension
- Ball joint wear, boot damage, or excess play at the lower arm
- Restoring stable front right lower suspension support
Installation Notes
Install this Delphi control arm in the front right lower position only on confirmed 2014-2018 Subaru Forester applications. Verify mounting hole size, bushing dimensions, and thread direction before installation. Because the assembly includes a threaded ball joint stud and locking nut, follow factory torque specifications and perform a professional alignment after replacement.
Quality Assurance
Delphi subjects steering and suspension components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses OE dimensional and material analysis to support fit consistency and durability. The TC8456 is built to Delphi’s premium aftermarket standards for the Subaru Forester platform.
