Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:521-012
Designed for a smooth ride and predictable handling, the Dorman control arm 521-719 is a front left lower suspension control arm that comes with its ball joint already in place. It is a direct replacement for the original assembly on the 2009-2013 Mazda 6.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly goes through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
A worn arm or ball joint can cause clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, or uneven tire wear. If that is the problem, this 2009-2013 Mazda 6 lower control arm replaces the front left lower arm and its ball joint as one unit. It is sold individually, and replacing the left and right arms together is recommended.

Is this the right control arm for a 2009-2013 Mazda 6?
It is listed for the front left lower position on the 2009-2013 Mazda 6. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the match for your exact vehicle.
What does a Dorman lower control arm do?
It connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. The arm lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension, and the ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as you steer.
What comes pre-installed on part 521-719?
The ball joint and bushings are already installed in the arm, so you don't have to press them in separately. This saves time and labor.
What are signs the lower control arm may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and play in the ball joint. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
Is anything recommended after installation?
Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values. Have the wheel alignment checked after replacing a lower control arm.
