Frequently Asked Questions
What does this control arm do?
It connects the wheel's steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis and lets the suspension move up and down, while the ball joint lets the knuckle pivot for steering. This one fits the front right lower position.
Which vehicle does Dorman 524-790 fit?
It is listed for the 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza in the front right lower position. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
What comes pre-installed on this assembly?
Dorman ships it with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so they are replaced together as one unit instead of being sourced and fitted separately.
What are signs a control arm or ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play at the ball joint. These can have other causes, so have the suspension inspected before replacing parts.
Is this control arm protected against rust?
Yes. Dorman applies additional coatings to help the assembly resist rust and corrosion.
