Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help bring back a smooth, stable ride with the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm with Ball Joint 520-599, made for the front upper position on the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 2004-2009 Dodge Durango and 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen. It is listed for both the front left upper and front right upper locations and is designed as a direct replacement for the original assembly on these applications. Engine details are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
This Dorman control arm arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed, so you do not have to fit them separately.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame through its bushings. The ball joint gives the knuckle a pivot point for steering and suspension travel. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and play at the ball joint are signs this assembly may need replacing. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both at once. We recommend replacing both sides together for balanced handling. Have the alignment checked after installation.
