This Dorman lower control arm mounts in the front right lower position. It links the wheel assembly to the chassis and carries the ball joint, which acts as the pivot for steering and suspension travel. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and worn bushings. It is sold individually, and replacing the matching left-side arm at the same time is recommended. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
