Detailed Description

The Delphi TD789W is a suspension control arm bushing engineered for OE-level dimensional and material compatibility. Delphi applies extensive dimensional and material analysis to help ensure the replacement bushing matches the original design requirements, while its rubber-steel construction supports the load and movement demands of the front suspension. This part number, TD789W, is a direct-fit style solution for front lower inner rearward service on the Mazda 6 and front lower rearward service on the Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr.

Delphi tests steering and suspension components under extreme conditions, including temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure. This helps validate performance in harsh road and weather environments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K80243 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive suspension arm movement
• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Worn rubber causing looseness at the control arm pivot point
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension bushing wear
• Imprecise steering feel from degraded front lower control arm support

Installation Notes and Tips

TD789W uses a press-fit mounting type, so proper suspension service tools and a controlled press procedure are important for installation. Inspect the control arm, mounting surfaces, and adjacent suspension components before installation, and verify the front lower inner rearward or front lower rearward position matches the vehicle application. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace related hardware as needed based on the vehicle service procedure.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this suspension control arm bushing using OE-focused engineering and validation methods. The part is evaluated for dimensional accuracy, material compatibility, temperature resistance, and corrosion exposure to support consistent replacement quality for Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6 applications.
