Keep the rear wheel located and moving on its intended path with this Dorman control arm, the Dorman OE Solutions lateral arm and ball joint assembly, part number 524-011. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear lower forward arm on the 2006-2010 Toyota RAV4. Engine-specific details are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Dorman lists this part as a lateral arm and ball joint assembly, and it is also cataloged as a control arm with ball joint. In the rear suspension, the arm helps locate the wheel and control its movement as the suspension travels. The ball joint is part of the assembly and provides a pivot point. Because this Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly supplies the arm and the ball joint together, both are replaced in one job.

Signs a 2006-2010 Toyota RAV4 control arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, uneven tire wear, a wandering feel, or play in the ball joint. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, installing 524-011 replaces both. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
