Confirm the bushing dimensions and vehicle application before installation, and inspect the surrounding control arm components for wear that could affect final alignment or suspension performance.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering and extensive dimensional and material analysis for aftermarket steering and suspension parts. The TD1182W is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and it is exposed to 720 hours of salt spray for durability validation. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-5879 for the same application.
