Help keep the front end steady and predictable with the Dorman control arm 520-205, a front left upper suspension arm that arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed.

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications and mounts in the front left upper position. It connects the steering knuckle to the chassis, so the wheel can move up and down over the road while staying located. The ball joint provides the pivot point for steering.
Trustworthy replacement: built to take the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
Quality engineering: put through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Durably designed: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
Signs this part may need replacing include:
clunking over bumps
loose or wandering steering
uneven tire wear
If a worn upper arm, bushing or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces them in one unit. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Dorman 520-205 do?
It connects the steering knuckle to the chassis in the front left upper position. This lets the wheel travel over bumps, and its ball joint provides the pivot for steering.
Which vehicles does the 520-205 fit?
It fits many vehicles, including the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and the 2003-2005 Lincoln Town Car. The Buyer's Guide tab has the full list.
Does it come with the ball joint and bushings installed?
Yes. Each assembly includes a pre-installed ball joint and bushings, so they don't need to be pressed in separately.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes, a wheel alignment is recommended, because replacing an upper control arm can change the suspension geometry. Follow the vehicle service information for fasteners and torque values.
What are signs of a worn upper control arm?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can come from worn bushings or a worn ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
