Detailed Description

Delphi TD1718W is a suspension control arm bushing engineered for front suspension service on select BMW models. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility between the replacement bushing and the original suspension design. The bushing is built with rubber, steel, and plastic materials to manage suspension articulation while maintaining the alignment and ride characteristics expected from a front control arm bushing. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-7797 for the same application.

Compatible With 2006 BMW 325xi and 330xi, front left forward or front right forward; 2007-2008 BMW 328xi and 335xi, front left forward or front right forward; 2009-2013 BMW 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive, front left forward or front right forward; 2012-2015 BMW X1, front left forward or front right forward. Delphi TD1718W is a direct-fit service part for these front suspension positions.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive play in the front control arm bushing
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension bushings
• Loose or imprecise steering feel caused by bushing wear
• Suspension vibration transferred through the front end

Installation Notes and Tips

• Pressed mounting requires removal and installation with proper suspension service tools.
• Confirm the vehicle position before ordering: front left forward or front right forward.
• Inspect the control arm, adjacent bushings, and alignment settings during replacement.
• Verify dimensions and OE reference before installation on BMW X1, 328i xDrive, or 335i xDrive applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering and suspension components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure and extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports OE-style performance expectations for this Delphi suspension control arm bushing, TD1718W.
