This Dorman lower control arm directly replaces the original assembly on specific vehicle applications. It goes through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.

  • Trustworthy replacement: built to take the place of the original arm on specific vehicle applications.
  • Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
  • Quality engineering: put through industry-leading testing aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride.
  • Durably designed: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.

The control arm connects the vehicle's frame to the wheel assembly. It lets the wheel travel up and down while holding it in position. Because this is a complete Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, you don't have to press a separate ball joint or bushings into the old arm. Signs the arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a worn ball joint or torn bushings.
