Help keep the front wheel properly located and the steering composed with the Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 524-501. This front left lower unit directly replaces the original on the 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X. As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, it arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so there is no separate joint or bushing work before it goes on the car.
Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original assembly on the listed applications.
Complete repair: the pre-installed ball joint and bushings help save time and labor during installation.
Tested design: put 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.
The lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It pivots on its bushings as the suspension moves, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn and travel. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs this Dorman lower control arm may need replacing. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause first. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values, and have the alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
Is this a 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza control arm, and does it also fit the 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X?
Yes. It is listed for the 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza and the 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X in the front left lower position.
Which position does Dorman 524-501 fit?
Dorman 524-501 is cataloged for the front left lower position on the listed applications.
What comes pre-installed on this arm?
The ball joint and bushings come already installed in the arm. This helps save time and labor compared with fitting them separately.
What are signs the lower control arm may need replacing?
Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint can be signs of wear. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing.
Is anything needed after installing it?
Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values. Have the wheel alignment checked afterward, since control arm replacement can affect alignment.
