Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Replace a worn front right lower arm in one step with the Dorman control arm 520-134 from Dorman OE Solutions, which arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic and 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am. It is a direct replacement for the original assembly on the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel with the suspension, and the ball joint gives the steering its pivot point. Dorman runs this design through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs that a control arm may need replacing, so diagnose the cause before ordering. This arm is for the front right lower position. If the arm on the opposite side is also worn, replacing both sides together is recommended.
