Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:521-147
Tackle a worn 2007-2013 Nissan Altima control arm with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly, part number 521-076. This front right lower unit is a direct replacement for the original assembly on the 2007-2013 Nissan Altima. For engine details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
The control arm links the wheel's steering knuckle to the chassis, letting the suspension travel up and down while holding the wheel in position. The ball joint gives the knuckle its pivot point for steering.
A worn arm or ball joint may cause clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a torn ball joint boot. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace this Dorman control arm. For installation, follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values. Have the wheel alignment checked afterward. Replacing the left and right lower arms together is recommended.
