Dorman put this suspension control arm and ball joint assembly through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
The upper control arm links the steering knuckle to the frame. Its bushings let the arm pivot as the wheel moves over bumps, and the ball joint lets the knuckle turn when you steer. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a ball joint with noticeable play. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace parts.
This listing is for one front left upper arm. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment check after installation is good practice.
