Delphi TD916W Suspension Control Arm Bushing - Rear At Knuckle (Upper)

Delphi TD916W Rear Control Arm Bushing

Delphi TD916W is a standard replacement suspension control arm bushing for the rear at knuckle upper position. Built with rubber and OE-focused dimensional analysis, it is made for BMW X3 rear suspension service where precise fit and stable control-arm movement matter.

Key Features

• Rubber construction for suspension isolation and controlled compliance
• Standard replacement grade for OE-style service work
• Positioned for the rear at knuckle upper location
• Dimensions: 2.23 in. length, 0.48 in. inside diameter, 1.78 in. outside diameter
• Delphi OE-based testing includes temperature exposure below -40 C and above 120 C, plus 720 hours of salt spray
• Part number TD916W for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Detailed Description

This Delphi suspension control arm bushing is engineered for 2004-2010 BMW X3 applications at the rear at knuckle upper position. The rubber material helps maintain suspension articulation while supporting the control arm connection point, and the OE-oriented dimensional and material analysis helps match the original fit and function expected in BMW X3 rear suspension repair. If you are replacing a worn BMW X3 control arm bushing, TD916W provides a direct service part reference for the specified position.

This part cross-references BMW OE 33 31 3 418 342 and K200943 for the same application. The Delphi TD916W part number is also useful when verifying the correct rear suspension bushing for BMW X3 models from 2004 through 2010.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear suspension looseness at the knuckle upper control arm mount
• Clunking or knocking from worn bushing material
• Excessive play that affects rear wheel control
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension movement issues
• Handling instability from deteriorated rubber bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2004-2010 BMW X3, rear at knuckle upper. Confirm the position before ordering, since this bushing is specific to the rear knuckle upper location. Inspect the surrounding control arm and mounting points for wear, corrosion, or deformation during service, and verify dimensions against the removed part when matching the replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused engineering and validation to its aftermarket steering and suspension portfolio. TD916W is tested for temperature extremes and salt-spray exposure to support durability in demanding road conditions, with compatibility guided by dimensional and material analysis for the intended BMW X3 application.
