Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help your front suspension ride smoothly and track true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm with Ball Joint 520-512, a front right lower Nissan Altima control arm for 2002-2006 models that also directly replaces the original assembly on the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima and 2009-2014 Renault Safrane. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
Dorman designed this arm as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications. It went through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
The lower control arm connects the wheel's steering knuckle to the chassis, which lets the wheel travel up and down while holding its position. The ball joint provides the pivot for steering. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and worn or cracked bushings. If a worn ball joint or bushing in the original arm is the cause, this assembly replaces them together. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values and whether the original fasteners may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation.
