Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help restore a steady, predictable front end with the Dorman control arm P/N 520-052, a front right lower suspension control arm with ball joint for the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5. It directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications. The ball joint and bushings come already installed, so it goes in as one piece. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
The lower control arm connects the front wheel assembly to the vehicle and helps hold it in position. The ball joint provides the pivot that lets the wheel steer and move with the suspension.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visibly worn bushings. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both at once. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
This unit fits the front right lower position. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
