Detailed Description

Delphi TD1200W is a rear suspension control arm bushing designed for select BMW rear suspension applications. The bushing measures 13.0 mm inside diameter, 34.0 mm length, 31.0 mm width, 40.0 mm height, and 8.5 mm wall thickness, with a rubber construction and black color. Delphi applies OE-based dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper compatibility between the original part and the aftermarket replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With BMW 525i, rear; BMW 530i, rear; BMW 540i, rear; and BMW 528i, rear applications listed below. If you are replacing a worn rear control arm bushing on a BMW 525i or BMW 540i, Delphi TD1200W is a direct replacement to compare against the original suspension component.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear suspension configuration and the 13 mm application note before ordering. Compare the original bushing dimensions, mounting location, and control arm design to the listed measurements for TD1200W. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, reuse or replacement hardware should be verified separately during service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering and suspension components through temperature and corrosion exposure testing, including sub-zero and high-heat conditions plus extended salt spray testing. The brand’s OE engineering background supports consistent material and dimensional control for aftermarket replacement parts.
