Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:524-524
Replace a worn rear suspension arm with the Dorman control arm 524-365 from Dorman - OE Solutions, a control arm with ball joint that directly replaces the original assembly on specific vehicle applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML350, 2002-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500 and 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML320. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Cataloged for the rear left lower rearward position, this Dorman lower control arm links the chassis to the wheel end so the suspension can move in a controlled path.
Because this is a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, the arm, ball joint and bushings are replaced as one unit. Signs the part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering handling, uneven tire wear, and visible play in the ball joint or bushings. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they can be reused. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
