Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:524-524
Help bring back a steady, predictable front end with this Dorman control arm, part number 524-467, a front left lower arm that arrives with the ball joint already installed. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1990-1997 and 1999-2005 Mazda Miata, so it suits owners of the early cars as well as anyone shopping for NB Miata control arms.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly connects the steering knuckle to the chassis. It lets the wheel travel with the suspension while keeping it in position. Dorman puts the design through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Signs that Miata A-arms may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the suspension before replacing parts. This listing is for one front left lower arm, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
