Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Delphi TD878W compatible with my vehicle?

This part is designed with an inner diameter of 119 mm. Please cross-reference your specific vehicle's VIN or OEM part number against the TD878W specifications to confirm fitment.

Do I need to replace both sides at once?

While it is possible to replace only one, it is highly recommended to replace bushings in pairs (left and right) to maintain balanced suspension performance.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need standard socket sets, jack stands, and a hydraulic press or a mechanical bushing removal/installation tool kit.

What does the 119 mm measurement refer to?

This is the inner diameter of the bushing, which must match the control arm pin or pivot shaft diameter for a secure, tight fit.

Does this part come with a warranty?

Delphi typically offers a standard manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Please check your specific retailer's policy for details.

Troubleshooting

Persistent clunking noise after installation

Verify that all control arm bolts were tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings while the suspension was under load.

Vehicle pulls to one side after replacement

The installation has likely altered the suspension geometry; perform a professional wheel alignment immediately.

Difficulty pressing the bush into the housing

Ensure the bushing is perfectly square to the bore and use a thin layer of rubber-safe lubricant to ease insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality manufacturing standards from a reputable automotive brand
  • Essential for restoring original vehicle handling and comfort
  • Reduces suspension noise and vibration transmitted to the chassis
  • Precise fitment minimizes installation adjustments

Cons

  • Requires specialized tools for bushing removal and press-fitting
  • Not intended for DIY beginners without mechanical experience
  • Vehicle alignment is strictly required after installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper installation, always lift the vehicle securely using jack stands and remove the control arm assembly according to your specific vehicle service manual. Use a hydraulic press or a dedicated bushing removal tool to extract the old bush; never attempt to hammer the new TD878W into place as this can damage the structural casing. Ensure the housing is clean and free of debris before insertion. After installation, a professional four-wheel alignment is mandatory to reset the vehicle's geometry. Periodically inspect the bush during routine oil changes to check for dry rot or cracking in the rubber compound.
