Locate the front-left wheel and deliver a smooth, controlled suspension pivot with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 526-225 (also 526225). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front left lower position on the 2016-2020 Ford Fusion, arriving as a complete unit so you replace the worn arm and its ball joint together.
- Complete assembly: the control arm ships with the ball joint already installed, so there's no separate pressing or fitting of the joint.
- Direct-fit replacement: designed for the front left lower position on the listed Ford Fusion applications.
- Locates and supports: helps position the wheel and provide the pivot points that let the suspension move through its travel.
Signs the original arm or ball joint may need replacing include clunking or knocking over the suspension, uneven tire wear, loose or wandering steering, and cracked or deteriorated bushings. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
