Delphi TC864 Suspension Control Arm - Front Left Lower

OE-Style Front Left Lower Control Arm

Delphi TC864 is a standard replacement suspension control arm for the front left lower position. It is built from forged material and includes rubber bushings for a direct-fit service part that supports stable front suspension geometry on select Honda applications.

Compatible with 1988-1991 Honda Civic and 1988-1991 Honda CRX, this Delphi control arm is engineered using OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and suspension alignment. Delphi TC864 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front left lower control arm on a Honda Civic or Honda CRX.

Key Features

• Forged construction for strength and durability
• Includes bushings
• Rubber bushing material

Detailed Description

Delphi TC864 is a front left lower suspension control arm designed for 1988-1991 Honda Civic and 1988-1991 Honda CRX models. Delphi applies OE-based engineering methods to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to support proper part-to-vehicle compatibility. The forged arm and rubber bushings are selected for everyday road use and replacement service where the original control arm has worn, bent, or developed bushing play.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-4185 for the same application. Delphi TC864 also aligns with other listed interchange references for the same front left lower Honda Civic and Honda CRX applications.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension looseness
• Steering pull or unstable front-end tracking
• Visible damage, corrosion, or bending in the original arm

Installation Notes and Tips

Install Delphi TC864 in the front left lower position only. Because the ball joint is not included, verify the condition of the existing ball joint before installation and replace it separately if needed. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct suspension geometry on the Honda Civic or Honda CRX.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its OE-focused steering and suspension parts to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. This testing approach supports consistent replacement quality for the TC864 control arm.
