Replace a worn lower arm and ball joint in one step with the Dorman control arm 520-781, a front left lower control arm with ball joint built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1993-1998 Volkswagen Jetta, 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf and 1995-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio. This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed, so the whole unit goes in at once and you don't have to service the individual pieces separately.
Direct replacement: takes the place of the original assembly on the listed applications.
Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
Tested design: went through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the chassis and pivots as the wheel travels up and down. The ball joint lets the knuckle turn with your steering. Several signs may mean this part needs replacing: clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a torn ball joint boot. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. This listing is for one front left lower arm, and we recommend replacing both sides together for balanced handling. The Buyer's Guide tab has the complete application details.
It connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis and pivots so the wheel can travel up and down. The ball joint allows the knuckle to turn with steering input.
Is this the right 1993-1998 Volkswagen Jetta control arm?
It is listed for the front left lower position on the 1993-1998 Volkswagen Jetta. It is also listed for the 1993-1999 Volkswagen Golf and the 1995-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio.
What comes with the 520-781?
The arm ships with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, so it goes in as one assembly. It is sold individually as the front left lower arm.
What are signs it may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear or a torn ball joint boot can be signs of a worn arm or ball joint. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose first.
How is it installed?
It mounts where the original arm did, with the ball joint and bushings already in place. Check the vehicle service information for torque values, the correct fasteners and whether any may be reused, then have the alignment checked.
