- Ready to install: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, saving time and labor.

Signs this Dorman lower control arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play or a torn boot at the ball joint. Other suspension and steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. The arm is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
