Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-792
Designed for a smooth, stable ride, the DORMAN control arm with ball joint 521-792 is a front right lower replacement for the 2007-2009 Kia Sorento. This DORMAN lower control arm directly replaces the original equipment assembly on the listed applications and arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment details.
As a DORMAN suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, this part links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. The arm pivots on its bushings as the suspension moves, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn for steering. Dorman's evaluation process targets directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play in the ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts. Consult the vehicle service information for torque specifications, the correct fasteners, and whether the originals may be reused. A wheel alignment after installation is recommended.
