Product Information

Full details

The Delphi TD522W is a high-performance suspension mounting bushing designed for DIY mechanics and professional technicians looking to restore factory-level handling and stability to their vehicle's chassis. It provides critical vibration dampening and precise alignment for wishbone, control, or trailing arm assemblies, though it requires specific press-fit tools for successful installation, making it less suitable for those without access to an automotive workshop environment.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the TD522W?

The Delphi TD522W has an inner diameter of 121 mm, an outer diameter of 178 mm, and a thickness of 152 mm.

Can I install this bushing at home without a press?

It is not recommended. Suspension bushings of this type usually require a hydraulic press for safe, non-destructive installation.

How do I know if my control arm bushings are bad?

Common symptoms include excessive vibration, clunking sounds when driving over bumps, uneven tire wear, and poor vehicle tracking.

Is an alignment necessary after replacing this part?

Yes, replacing any suspension bushing necessitates a professional wheel alignment to correct geometry changes.

Does this package include mounting hardware?

The product is for the bushing component only; always check if your existing hardware is reusable or requires replacement.

Troubleshooting

Bush appears too large for the control arm housing.

Verify the part number against your vehicle's specific requirements; if correct, ensure you are using a hydraulic press to achieve an even, straight entry into the housing.

Noticeable movement or play after installation.

Ensure the bushing was seated fully to the manufacturer's depth specifications and that all mounting bolts are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended values.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High manufacturing standards matching original equipment specifications
  • Restores handling precision lost to worn-out rubber bushings
  • Reduces cabin noise and suspension vibrations
  • Solid build quality ensures long-term reliability

Cons

  • Requires professional hydraulic press tools for removal and installation
  • Not compatible with all vehicle makes; requires strict verification
  • Installation can be time-consuming for non-specialized hobbyists

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting installation, it is mandatory to verify compatibility using your vehicle's make, model, and year via an automotive parts lookup tool, as dimensions must match the specific housing of your control arm. The installation typically involves removing the existing control arm from the vehicle and utilizing a hydraulic workshop press to safely extract the old bushing and seat the new TD522W unit. Avoid using excessive force or heat, which can damage the component housing. Once installed, perform a full wheel alignment to ensure the new bushing performs as intended within the suspension ecosystem. Periodically inspect the bushing for signs of dry rot, cracking, or play during your routine oil changes.
