What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or excess play at the control arm mounting point
• Clunking or knocking from worn rear suspension bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by degraded bushing support
• Imprecise rear suspension response during cornering or braking
• Inspection failures tied to cracked, torn, or deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear upper outer position before ordering, since this bushing is application-specific. Compare the original bushing dimensions and mounting location to TD1682W, and inspect the surrounding control arm and hardware for wear before installation. Proper suspension alignment should be checked after replacement on BMW 230i, 330i, 430i, and related models.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering practices to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. This bushing is validated through temperature cycling from below -40 C to above 120 C and salt-spray exposure testing for corrosion resistance, supporting consistent performance in demanding service conditions.
