Steady a worn corner and bring back a smooth, controlled ride with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 520-217. This front, left, upper control arm assembly installs as a direct-fit replacement on 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 application list.

As the upper control arm, it locates the wheel through its travel while the integrated ball joint lets the knuckle pivot for steering. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking over bumps, uneven front tire wear, and loose or wandering steering.

  • Complete repair: each assembly arrives with a pre-installed ball joint and bushings, saving install time and labor.
  • Quality engineering: underwent industry-leading testing to help deliver a smooth, stable ride and predictable dynamics.
  • Durably built: additional coatings add rust and corrosion resistance.
  • Direct replacement: engineered to drop in like the original assembly on the specified vehicles.

This Dorman control arm and ball joint assembly replaces the front left upper corner only; order the matching opposite-side unit if that corner is also worn.
