As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, the 520-407 links the front wheel's steering knuckle to the chassis. It pivots on its bushings so the wheel can travel up and down, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn with steering input.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the suspension before replacing parts. This listing covers the front left lower position. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
