Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:524-089
Help bring a steady, composed feel back to the front end with this Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 521-089. It is a direct replacement for the front left lower arm on the 2006-2015 Suzuki Grand Vitara and takes the place of the original assembly on that application.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly went through an industry-leading evaluation process designed for a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics. The ball joint and bushings come already installed, so the arm goes in as one piece instead of as separate components.
As a Dorman lower control arm, it links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's structure. This lets the wheel travel up and down while holding its position, and the ball joint acts as the pivot for steering. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing, so have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause. Replacing the matching right-side arm at the same time is recommended for even handling, and an alignment check after installation is advised.
