Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm P/N:520-143
Keep the front-left wheel located and tracking true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm 520-455, a front left lower control arm that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1998-2004 Toyota Avalon and the 1999-2003 Toyota Solara.
A control arm connects the steering knuckle side of the front suspension to the vehicle's frame, pivoting to let the wheel move up and down over the road while keeping it located for steady steering and even tire contact. As the original wears, the front-left corner can develop play that shows up as noise and loose handling.
If a worn front-left lower control arm is the cause of these symptoms, this part replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and follow the specified procedure for an alignment afterward.
