An upper control arm links the steering knuckle to the chassis. Its ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the suspension moves and the wheels steer. Signs this Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play at the ball joint.
This listing is for one right-side arm, sold individually. Replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced handling.
