Tackle a worn front suspension corner with the Dorman control arm 520-870, a direct replacement for the original front right lower assembly on the 2000-2006 Mazda MPV. For engine-specific details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly comes with the ball joint and bushings already installed.
- Direct replacement: takes the place of the original assembly on the listed MPV applications.
- Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, saving time and labor.
- Tested engineering: put through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
The lower control arm connects the wheel's steering knuckle to the chassis, letting the wheel travel up and down with the suspension while helping hold it in position. Signs it may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a worn ball joint or torn bushing. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is behind the symptom, this assembly replaces all three at once. It is sold individually for the front right lower position; replacing the left side at the same time is recommended for balanced handling.
