Help keep your front end steady and predictable with Dorman part number 521-601, a direct replacement 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z lower control arm that also fits the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35. It fits the front left lower rearward position and arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original on the listed applications. Dorman put it through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable handling.
Signs this part may need replacing: clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or torn or cracked bushings. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is the cause, this assembly replaces all three at once.
This Dorman control arm is sold individually for the left side. Replacing the matching right-side arm at the same time is recommended. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details by year.
Is this the right control arm for my 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z?

Does it also work as a control arm for the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35?
Yes. It is listed for the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 in the same front left lower rearward position.
What comes pre-installed on the arm?
The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, so you do not have to buy and fit them separately. This saves time and labor during the repair.
What signs suggest the control arm may need replacing?
Common signs are clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear or cracked bushings. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
Replacing a control arm can change suspension geometry, so an alignment is recommended afterward. Check the vehicle service information for torque specs and whether fasteners can be reused.
