Upgrade past the bushing that Dorman identifies as a frequent weak point with the Dorman OE FIX control arm with ball joint 524-381, a front left lower forward replacement for the 2011-2023 Dodge Charger, 2011-2023 Chrysler 300 and 2011-2023 Dodge Challenger. It is a direct-fit replacement for specified rear-wheel-drive applications without high-performance suspensions. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Dorman notes that when the original assembly fails on these cars, the bushings are often the reason. The factory bushings are undersized for certain applications and are made from rubber that can weaken and break down prematurely. Installing another replacement that lacks a tougher bushing can lead to similar future failures and possible driveability issues. Those repeat repairs and the downtime they cause add up quickly, especially for car service, limousine and law enforcement fleets.
- Upgraded repair: An oversized, heavy-duty two-piece bushing spreads the suspension load over a greater area. It is made from denser, more durable rubber and is intended as a more permanent repair when replacing an OE arm.
- Position-specific: Engineered only to replace a failed front left lower forward arm on specified RWD Chrysler and Dodge vehicles without high-performance suspensions.
- Cost-effective: Switching from factory-style arms to this upgraded arm can help increase uptime and lower maintenance costs for fleet vehicles.
- Simple installation: Professional technicians and experienced DIYers can install it without special tools or a shop press. Dorman engineered and tested it for a predictable install on specified vehicles.
For optimal performance and service life, Dorman recommends replacing both assemblies. This Dorman control arm covers the front left lower forward position.
