Help your front suspension deliver a smooth, stable ride with the Dorman control arm 520-167, a front left lower Control Arm with Ball Joint built as a direct replacement for the original on the 2008-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2008-2009 Buick Allure and 1997-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
The ball joint and bushings come already installed in the arm, so the job goes in as one assembly instead of separate pieces. That saves time and labor at installation.
- Direct replacement: designed to directly replace the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Complete repair: each unit arrives with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed.
- Tested engineering: put through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
A worn lower arm or ball joint may show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If a failed arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both in a single part. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, torque values and whether the original hardware may be reused.
