This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is cataloged for the front upper position on both the left and right sides. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original assembly on the listed applications.

  • Direct replacement: built to take the place of the original equipment arm on specific vehicle applications.
  • Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor during installation.
  • Tested quality: went through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, aimed at a smooth, stable ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
  • Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.

The control arm links the wheel assembly to the chassis, and the ball joint provides the pivot that lets the suspension travel and the wheel steer. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
