Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Replace a worn Honda Civic control arm, or the same front left upper arm on a Honda CRX, with the Dorman OE Solutions 520-611, a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1988-1991 Honda Civic and 1988-1991 Honda CRX. As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, it arrives as one ready-to-install unit for the front left upper position. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
The upper control arm links the steering knuckle to the chassis and pivots on its bushings, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn with the steering and move with the suspension. Clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is the cause, this assembly replaces all three in one piece. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for balanced handling. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation.
