Delphi TD483W Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Front Lower Rearward or Rear Lower Forward

OE-Style Suspension Bushing for BMW

Delphi TD483W is a suspension control arm bushing built for BMW front and rear lower control arm locations listed below. It uses a rubber-to-metal construction and press-fit mounting to match the original service style on a wide range of BMW X3, X5, 5 Series, 7 Series, and 8 Series applications.

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and consistent suspension performance. The TD483W is a standard replacement bushing for BMW owners servicing worn control arm bushings on front lower rearward or rear lower forward positions.

Key Features

• Rubber-to-metal construction for controlled suspension movement
• Press-fit mounting type for OE-style installation
• Standard replacement grade for routine suspension service
• Black finish
• Designed for front lower rearward and rear lower forward positions, depending on vehicle application
• Delphi part number TD483W

Detailed Description

Delphi TD483W is a suspension control arm bushing engineered for BMW chassis applications that require a press-fit rubber bushing in the control arm. The bushing measures 44.0 mm in length, 46.0 mm in outside diameter, and 12.1 mm in inside diameter, with a 17.5 mm wall thickness. Its rubber-to-metal design supports the suspension joint while helping maintain alignment and ride control under normal driving loads.

Delphi validates its OE-focused steering and suspension parts through temperature and corrosion exposure testing, including extreme cold, high heat, and extended salt spray exposure. This makes TD483W a practical replacement choice for BMW X3, BMW X5, BMW 525i, BMW 535i, BMW 740i, BMW 750iL, BMW 850Ci, and other listed models that use this bushing location. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K200090 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Excessive suspension play during braking or cornering
• Uneven tire wear caused by bushing deterioration
• Steering looseness or vague front-end response
• Cracked, dry-rotted, or separated rubber in the control arm mount

Installation Notes

TD483W uses a press-fit design, so proper removal and installation tools are recommended. Inspect the control arm, mounting bore, and surrounding suspension components before installation, and verify the exact position on your BMW application before ordering. Because this bushing is position-specific, confirm whether your vehicle uses the front lower rearward or rear lower forward location.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support fitment accuracy and consistent replacement quality. The part is also tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding service conditions.
