Tighten up a loose, clunky front end with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 520-314. This complete front upper control arm arrives with the ball joint already assembled, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen, 2005-2009 Dodge Durango, and 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500.
The control arm locates the wheel and lets the front suspension travel through its range, while the integrated ball joint lets the steering knuckle pivot for steering and articulation. Because the arm and joint come as one unit, you replace both worn components in a single install.
- Complete assembly: control arm with a pre-assembled ball joint, sold as one ready-to-install unit.
- Front upper position: cataloged for the front upper location, left or right side.
- Direct-fit application: engineered to install on the listed vehicles.
Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven front tire wear are signs the original arm or ball joint may be worn; diagnose the cause before replacing. Sold individually; order two to service both the left and right front upper positions as a matched pair. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
Manufacturer part number 520-314.
