Replace a worn front lower suspension arm in one step with the Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 521-500, a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1992-2005 Chevrolet Astro and 1992-2005 GMC Safari. It is cataloged for the front right lower position and comes with the ball joint and bushings already installed.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly links the wheel to the chassis and lets the suspension move as the road changes. Dorman built it to replace the factory arm on the listed applications:
- Direct replacement: Designed to take the place of the original assembly on the listed vans.
- Pre-installed ball joint and bushings: Arrives with both in place, which saves time and labor during installation.
- Tested for ride quality: Put through Dorman's industry-leading testing and evaluation process, which is aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Protective coatings: Additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
Signs a lower control arm or its ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and visible play at the ball joint. Diagnose the cause before you replace any parts. This arm is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they can be reused. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
