Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 527-451 control arm with ball joint
- Also called: control arm and ball joint assembly
- Fits: 2019-2025 Ram 1500 and other vehicles
- Position: Front left lower

A worn control arm or ball joint can show up as a clunk over bumps, uneven tire wear or loose, wandering steering. Other suspension parts can produce those signs too, so with the engine off, look at the bushings for cracked rubber and the ball joint for a split boot first. If this front left arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
Fits
The 2019-2025 Ram 1500, the 2022-2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and the 2023-2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L take this direct replacement for the original equipment, as do other vehicles. If your vehicle is not named here, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section. Both front lower arms are normally replaced together; this listing is one front left arm, which the 2019-2025 Ram 1500 takes once, and the front right is a separate part.
