This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly takes the place of the factory unit. It went through an industry-leading evaluation process designed to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel move up and down with the suspension while holding it in position, and the ball joint serves as the steering pivot. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and noticeable play in the ball joint.
This listing covers the front right lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment is advised after installation.
