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.
