Built for a smooth ride and predictable handling, the Dorman control arm 520-884 is a front right lower assembly that serves as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege and 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5. The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, so the arm goes in as one unit.
- Direct replacement: directly replaces the original assembly on the listed Mazda applications.
- Complete repair: each assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, which saves time and labor.
- Quality engineering: put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Durable design: additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
This Dorman lower control arm links the front right wheel assembly to the chassis. It locates the wheel and pivots as the suspension moves, and its ball joint provides the pivot point for the steering knuckle. Signs that the original may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a worn ball joint or torn bushings. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce the same symptoms. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
