Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Replace a worn front left upper arm in one step with the Dorman control arm 520-757, which comes with its ball joint and bushings already installed to save time and labor. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1991 Mercedes-Benz 300D, 1982-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD and 1988-1991 Mercedes-Benz 300CE. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is a direct replacement for the original equipment on the listed applications. It connects the front wheel assembly to the vehicle and pivots on its bushings and ball joint, so the suspension can travel while the wheel stays located.
Clunking over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear, a torn bushing or a loose ball joint can be signs this arm may need replacing. If the original upper arm or its ball joint is worn, this assembly replaces both at once. We recommend replacing the matching right-side arm at the same time. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
