Built to replace a worn front left upper arm on your 2003-2005 Mazda 6, this Dorman control arm (part number 520-881) arrives ready to install with its ball joint and bushings already in place. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment on this application. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down while holding it in position, and the ball joint provides the pivot point for steering. As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, 520-881 replaces the arm, joint and bushings in one piece.
- Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Ready to install: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, saving time and labor.
- Tested design: Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process is aimed at a smooth, stable ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Protective coatings: additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn ball joint or bushing in the original arm is causing the problem, this assembly replaces both along with the arm. It is sold individually for the front left upper position, and replacing both sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment is typically advised after installation.
