Help bring back a smooth, stable ride with this Dorman control arm, part number 521-142. It is a front right upper assembly that serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2006-2011 Lincoln Town Car and 2006-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. It directly replaces the original assembly on these applications and arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed.

  • Direct replacement: Designed to replace the original front right upper arm and ball joint on the listed applications.
  • Pre-installed components: The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed on each assembly, saving time and labor during the repair.
  • Tested engineering: Went through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
  • Coated finish: Additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.

A control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the suspension travel up and down while helping hold the wheel in position, and the ball joint provides the pivot point for steering. Several signs may mean the arm needs replacing: clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is the cause, this Dorman suspension control arm replaces all three as one unit.

It is sold individually for the right side, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
