This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is cataloged for the front right lower position. A lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It pivots on its bushings, while the ball joint lets the knuckle steer and travel with the suspension. Signs the arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a torn bushing or play in the ball joint. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before ordering.
It is sold individually as the right-side unit, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
