Help bring back steady steering and a composed ride with the SKP Control Arm with Ball Joint SK521638, a front right lower Kia Sorento control arm that also fits the Hyundai Santa Fe. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and 2007-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This control arm and ball joint assembly arrives with the ball joint already installed in the arm, so both wear items at this corner are replaced as one part. The lower control arm connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle's frame, and the ball joint provides the pivot that lets the suspension travel and the wheel steer.
- Pre-assembled: The ball joint comes already installed, which saves time and simplifies the repair.
- Built to OE standards: SKP uses high-quality materials, meeting or exceeding OE specifications, and builds the assembly for the demands of everyday driving.
- Handling and control: Replacing a worn arm and ball joint is intended to help bring back precise handling and control.
- Ride comfort: Worn control arms and ball joints can contribute to a bumpy ride. A fresh assembly is designed to help restore proper suspension function.
Choosing an SKP control arm with the joint already fitted keeps the job simple. This listing covers the front right lower position. Replacing the left side at the same time is often recommended for balanced handling, and the wheel alignment should be checked after installation.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a torn ball joint boot.
