Delphi TD312W Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Front Forward

Delphi TD312W Front Forward Control Arm Bushing

The Delphi TD312W is a standard replacement suspension control arm bushing built for front forward placement on select Saturn models. It uses a rubber-steel construction and press-fit mounting to restore proper suspension support in applications such as Saturn L300, L200, LW200, and related platforms.

Key Features

• Rubber-steel construction for suspension isolation and structural support
• Press-fit mounting type for OE-style installation
• Front forward position application
• Standard replacement grade for routine suspension service
• Black finish
• Dimensions: 60.0 mm length, 49.0 mm height, 36.0 mm outside diameter, 12.2 mm inside diameter
• Delphi part number TD312W

Detailed Description

Delphi TD312W is a suspension control arm bushing engineered for front forward use on Saturn L-series vehicles. It is listed for 2000 Saturn LS, LS1, LS2, LW1, and LW2; 2001-2002 Saturn L100; 2001-2003 Saturn L200, LW200, and LW300; and 2001-2005 Saturn L300. The rubber-steel design supports the control arm while helping maintain suspension geometry and ride control in the front suspension.

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to aftermarket steering and suspension parts, and this bushing is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K200068 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Front suspension looseness at the control arm mounting point
• Excessive movement or play in the front forward bushing location
• Noise from worn rubber-steel suspension bushings
• Uneven suspension response caused by deteriorated bushing material
• Restoration of OE-style control arm support on Saturn L-series vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

This bushing uses a press-fit mounting design and does not include mounting hardware. Proper removal and installation tools are recommended to avoid damage to the control arm or surrounding suspension components. Verify the front forward position and confirm vehicle application before installation. Delphi TD312W is listed for Saturn L300, L200, LW200, LW300, L100, LS, LS1, LS2, LW1, and LW2 applications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this suspension bushing with OE-level engineering practices, including dimensional and material validation for fit and performance. The part is evaluated under extreme temperature and corrosion testing to support consistent service in demanding undercar conditions.
