Replace a worn front right lower control arm in one step with the Dorman - OE Solutions control arm with ball joint, part number 524-078. It is a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500 and 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic, and it installs in the front right lower position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the frame. It lets the wheel travel up and down while holding it in position. The ball joint is the pivot that allows the knuckle to turn and move with the suspension. Dorman supplies this part as a control arm and ball joint assembly, so the joint and bushings are already installed.
- Direct replacement: takes the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which helps save time and labor.
- Tested engineering: went through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
Signs that a lower control arm or ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is causing the problem, this assembly replaces all three together. This Dorman control arm is sold individually for the right side, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
