Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help bring back a smooth, stable ride with the Dorman control arm 520-869, a front left lower arm that comes with its ball joint and bushings already installed. It is a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2000-2006 Mazda MPV and goes in as a single assembly, which saves time and labor.
The lower control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel move up and down while holding it in position, and the ball joint gives the steering and suspension a pivot point.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is sold individually for the front left lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended to help keep handling even.
Signs this arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause. If a worn ball joint or bushing in the original arm is the problem, this assembly replaces them together. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after installation.
