Replace a worn front suspension link in one step with the Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 522-015. It is a direct replacement for the original assembly in the front left lower position on the 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza. Engine-specific details are in the Buyer's Guide tab.

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so there are fewer components to fit during the repair.

  • Direct replacement: designed to replace the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
  • Complete repair: the pre-installed ball joint and bushings help save time and labor.
  • Quality engineering: put through industry-leading testing and evaluation aimed at a smooth, stable ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
  • Durably designed: additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.

As a Dorman lower control arm, it links the steering knuckle to the chassis and lets the wheel travel up and down, while the ball joint acts as the steering pivot. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a torn ball joint boot. This listing covers the front left lower arm. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment should follow installation.
