Delphi TD388W Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Front Left Lower Rearward Inner

Delphi TD388W Control Arm Bushing

Delphi TD388W is a suspension control arm bushing built for front left lower rearward inner applications on select Volvo, Mitsubishi, and Dodge vehicles. It uses rubber construction and OE-focused dimensional analysis to support proper fit and consistent suspension movement.

Compatible with 2000-2004 Volvo S40 and 2000-2004 Volvo V40, front left lower rearward inner, as well as 1993-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt, front left lower rearward. The Delphi TD388W is a standard replacement part for drivers restoring worn suspension bushings on these platforms.

• Rubber bushing material for suspension isolation and control
• Bolt-on mounting type for direct replacement service
• Standard replacement grade for OE-style repair work
• Position-specific fitment: front left lower rearward inner
• Engineered using OE dimensional and material analysis for fit consistency
• Tested for temperature extremes below -40 C and above 120 C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during durability testing

Detailed Fitment and Application

This suspension control arm bushing is intended for vehicles that use the specified front left lower rearward inner or front left lower rearward location. It fits 2000-2004 Volvo S40, front left lower rearward inner; 2000-2004 Volvo V40, front left lower rearward inner; 1993-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage, front left lower rearward; and 1993-1995 Dodge Colt, front left lower rearward. Delphi TD388W cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive play in the front control arm bushing
• Clunking or knocking from worn suspension bushings
• Uneven steering response caused by deteriorated rubber
• Suspension looseness during braking or cornering
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style bushing on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle position before ordering, since this part is specific to front left lower rearward inner and front left lower rearward applications. Verify the inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness, and height against the original bushing before installation. Professional suspension service is recommended because control arm bushing replacement often requires proper pressing or removal procedures depending on the vehicle and control arm design.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. TD388W is built with dimensional and material analysis to support OE-level compatibility, and it is validated through temperature and corrosion testing to help confirm durability in demanding conditions.
