Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help bring back steady, predictable handling with this Dorman control arm, part number 520-339, built for the front left lower position on the 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5 and 2014-2021 Mazda 6. It directly replaces the original equipment on these applications and arrives as a complete assembly, so the repair takes less time.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly links the steering knuckle to the chassis. It pivots on its bushings as the suspension moves, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn with the steering. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace it.
This arm is sold individually for the front left lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
Is this the right control arm for a 2014-2021 Mazda 6?
It is listed for the front left lower position on the 2014-2021 Mazda 6. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Is this also a control arm for the 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5?
Yes. It is listed for the front left lower position on the 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5.
What comes installed in the arm?
The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed in the arm, so there is no separate ball joint or bushing to install.
What are signs the lower control arm may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear can be signs of a worn arm, ball joint or bushing. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause first.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
A wheel alignment is recommended after replacing a control arm, because the arm locates the wheel and affects the alignment angles.
