Keep the front right corner of your suspension properly located with the Dorman control arm, part number 520-216, a front right upper arm that comes with its ball joint and bushings already installed. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the frame. It pivots on its bushings, and the ball joint lets the knuckle move with the suspension and turn with the steering. This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly went through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Direct replacement: designed to replace the original assembly directly on specific vehicle applications, in the front right upper position.
- Pre-installed components: the ball joint and bushings come already installed, saving time and labor during the repair.
- Tested quality: put through industry-leading testing aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
Signs this arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, play in the ball joint, and cracked or worn bushings. If a worn front right upper arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it. It is sold individually for the right side, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque, and have the alignment checked after installation.
