Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:524-524
Designed to help deliver a smooth ride with directional stability, the Dorman control arm 524-085 is a direct replacement for the front left lower arm on the 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra, 2013-2021 Nissan NV200 and 2015-2018 Chevrolet City Express. As a Dorman lower control arm, it links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis, letting the suspension travel over the road while helping hold the wheel in position.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and vibration felt through the steering wheel. Worn tie rods, struts and other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
This arm fits the front left lower position. Replacing the left and right arms together is recommended. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment details.
Does this Nissan Sentra control arm fit other vehicles?
Yes. Besides the 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra, it fits the 2013-2021 Nissan NV200 and the 2015-2018 Chevrolet City Express. See the Buyer's Guide tab for details.
Which position does Dorman 524-085 install in?
It is cataloged for the front left lower position. Replacing the left and right arms together is recommended.
What comes pre-installed on this control arm?
The arm arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, which saves time and labor during the repair.
What are signs of a worn lower control arm?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and steering wheel vibration. Other worn parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
