Keep the front wheel properly located as your suspension moves with the Dorman control arm 520-273, a front left lower replacement for the 1999-2002 Nissan Quest and 1999-2002 Mercury Villager. This Dorman suspension control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. It holds the wheel in position while the suspension travels up and down over the road. The manufacturer describes it as precision-engineered and rigorously tested to replace the original equipment on specific vehicles.

  • Direct replacement: designed to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed applications.
  • Reliable fit: precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original component.
  • Durable construction: built to strict standards using sturdy, safe materials.
  • Rigorously tested: thorough quality-control measures are aimed at longevity.

A control arm may need replacing if you notice any of these signs:

  • clunking or knocking over bumps
  • loose or wandering steering
  • uneven tire wear
  • vibration felt through the steering wheel

Other suspension components can cause the same signs, so inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing the arm.

This arm is sold individually for the front left lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
