Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm P/N:524-056
Built to address the bushing weakness behind many failed factory arms, this Dorman control arm, part number 524-341, is an OE FIX upgrade for the front lower rearward position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 and 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Dorman notes that when the original front lower rearward arms fail on certain Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, the bushings are often the reason. The factory bushings are undersized for certain applications, and their rubber can weaken and break down early. Fitting another arm without a sturdier bushing can lead to repeat failures, a costly cycle for fleet vehicles.
Dorman engineered and tested this arm to help ensure a smooth, predictable installation. For the best performance and service life, Dorman recommends replacing both control arms together.

Is this the right Dodge Charger control arm for the front lower rearward position?
Dorman 524-341 is engineered for the front lower rearward position on the 2006-2010 Dodge Charger. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Does it also work as a Chrysler 300 control arm?
It is listed for the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 and the 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger in the front lower rearward position. The Buyer's Guide tab has the full fitment chart.
What does a suspension control arm do?
It links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's frame. Its bushings let it pivot while controlling movement as the suspension travels.
How is this arm different from the factory part?
It uses an oversized, heavy-duty two-piece bushing made from denser, more durable rubber that spreads the suspension load over a greater area. Dorman says factory bushings are often why the original arms fail.
What are signs this control arm may need replacing?
Signs can include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and cracked or torn bushings. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
