Help keep the front end smooth and stable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly (520-314) — a front upper control arm that drops in as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, along with the 2005-2009 Dodge Durango and 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen. It mounts in the front upper position (left or right), and Dorman put it through an industry-leading evaluation process to help deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.

  • Complete repair: each assembly includes a pre-installed ball joint and bushings, saving time and labor.
  • Trustworthy replacement: this control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications.
  • Quality engineering: underwent industry-leading testing for a smooth, stable and safe ride.
  • Durably designed: additional coatings offer rust and corrosion resistance.

Because the ball joint and bushings are already installed, this Dorman control arm provides the pivot and location of the front upper suspension in a single part. Worn arms and joints can show up as clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed upper control arm or its ball joint is the cause, this control arm replaces it. Sold individually — replacing both the left and right sides together as a matched set is recommended for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dorman 520-314 control arm and ball joint assembly?

It's a front upper suspension control arm with a pre-installed ball joint and bushings that directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications, so the arm and joint are replaced in one part.

Is this the right upper control arm for a 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500?

Yes. It's a direct replacement for the front upper position on the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for every listed vehicle.

Do I need to buy two?

It's sold individually. For even, balanced handling, replacing both the left and right front upper arms as a matched set is recommended, though not required.

Does it include the ball joint and bushings?

Yes. The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, making it a complete assembly that saves installation time and labor.

What are signs my control arm may need replacing?

Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs. Have the cause diagnosed first, since these symptoms can come from other worn suspension parts too.
