Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:522-498
Replace a worn front right lower arm in a single step with the Dorman control arm 522-832, built for the 2010-2014 Subaru Outback and 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy. It directly replaces the original assembly on these applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
This Dorman lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the chassis through its ball joint and bushings. It holds the wheel in position while letting the suspension travel over the road. Dorman puts the design through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is cataloged for the front right lower position. The arm may need replacing if you notice clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings or a loose ball joint. If the opposite arm shows similar wear, replacing both sides together is recommended. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.

Is this the right Subaru Outback control arm for my 2010-2014 model?
It is listed as a front right lower arm for the 2010-2014 Subaru Outback and 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows the confirmed applications.
What does a lower control arm do?
It connects the steering knuckle to the chassis through its ball joint and bushings. This holds the wheel in position while the suspension moves up and down.
What comes pre-installed on this arm?
The ball joint and bushings come already installed in the arm, so you don't need to press them in separately.
What are signs this control arm may need replacing?
Warning signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings or a loose ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a control arm can change the suspension geometry, so a wheel alignment check is recommended after installation.
