Designed for a smooth ride and stable, predictable handling, this Dorman control arm, part number 521-852, is a direct replacement for the original front right upper control arm with ball joint. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's structure so the suspension can travel up and down while the wheel stays located. The ball joint gives the arm its pivot point for steering.
- Direct replacement: replaces the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Ready to install: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which helps save time and labor.
- Tested engineering: Dorman puts it through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride with directional stability.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and worn or cracked bushings. Diagnose the cause before you replace parts. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
