Keep your SUV's front suspension properly located with the Dorman control arm 520-977, a front upper control arm with ball joint built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2015 Audi Q7, the 2003-2006 and 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne, and the 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg. It directly replaces the original assembly on these listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly mounts in the front upper position. It links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's structure, so the wheel can move through its suspension travel while staying in position.

  • Direct replacement: Designed to take the place of the original assembly on the listed applications.
  • Complete repair: Arrives with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, which saves time and labor during installation.
  • Quality engineering: Put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process and designed for a smooth, stable ride and predictable handling.
  • Corrosion protection: Additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.

Worn upper control arm bushings or a loose ball joint may cause clunking over bumps, vague or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. If a worn arm is the problem, this assembly replaces the arm, ball joint and bushings together. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles does part 520-977 fit?

It is a front upper arm for the 2007-2015 Audi Q7, the 2003-2006 and 2008-2010 Porsche Cayenne, and the 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg. The Buyer's Guide tab shows the engines for each vehicle.

What does a Dorman suspension control arm do?

It connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's structure, so the wheel can move up and down while staying in position. The 520-977 installs in the front upper position.

Is the ball joint included?

Yes. The assembly comes with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, so you do not need to press in separate components.

What are signs the upper control arm may need replacing?

Signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play in the ball joint. Other suspension parts can cause these too, so inspect before replacing.

Do I need an alignment after installing it?

Replacing a control arm can affect suspension geometry, so a wheel alignment is recommended afterward. Check the service information for torque values and whether the original fasteners can be reused.
