Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:522-522
Keep the front wheel properly located and the steering predictable with the Dorman control arm 522-466, a front right lower Control Arm with Ball Joint built as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Dodge Nitro and 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty. Dorman designed it to take the place of the original assembly on these applications, and it arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed.
As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, it links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It pivots on its bushings as the suspension travels, and the ball joint lets the knuckle turn for steering.
Signs this Dorman lower control arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, a loose or wandering steering feel, uneven tire wear, and worn bushings. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace parts. A wheel alignment is generally recommended after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full fitment list.
