This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original equipment on specific vehicle applications. It went through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Trustworthy replacement: takes the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Time-saving design: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
- Quality engineering: put through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Durably designed: additional coatings add rust and corrosion resistance.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It lets the wheel move up and down while holding it in position, and the ball joint provides the pivot for steering. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both in one piece.
It is sold individually for the front left position, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Have a wheel alignment done after installation.
