Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:521-295
Help your pickup ride smoothly and hold a stable line with this Dorman control arm, part number 521-384, a front right upper replacement for the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and 2004-2012 GMC Canyon. Dorman designed this suspension control arm and ball joint assembly as a direct replacement for the original equipment. Engine-specific details are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
The upper control arm connects the wheel assembly to the frame. It lets the suspension travel up and down while holding the wheel in position, and the ball joint gives the steering knuckle its pivot point. Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and worn bushings or a loose ball joint. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts. This assembly is sold individually for the front right upper position, and replacing the left side at the same time is recommended for balanced handling.
