Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:521-012
Take care of a worn suspension corner in one step with the Dorman control arm with ball joint 521-008 from Dorman - OE Solutions, a direct replacement for the original front right upper assembly. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2023 Dodge Charger, 2005-2023 Chrysler 300 and 2008-2023 Dodge Challenger. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis and lets the wheel move up and down. The ball joint gives the knuckle a pivot point for steering. This control arm and ball joint assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so both jobs are done with one part.
This listing is for one control arm, for the right side only. Replacing the left-side arm at the same time is recommended for balanced handling. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values and the correct fasteners.
Is this the right 2006-2023 Dodge Charger control arm?

Will this work as a 2005-2023 Chrysler 300 control arm?
Yes, it is listed for the 2005-2023 Chrysler 300 as the front right upper control arm with ball joint. The Buyer's Guide tab shows every listed vehicle.
What comes with the 521-008?

Do I need an alignment after installing it?
