This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications. It went through an industry-leading evaluation process that targets a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.

  • Direct replacement: directly replaces the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.

  • Quality engineering: put through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
  • Durable design: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.

The control arm connects the wheel assembly to the chassis, and the ball joint lets the wheel pivot as it steers.

Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace it. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
