Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Dorman lower control arm for the right or left side?

This assembly is cataloged for the front right lower position on the listed applications.

Does it fit the 1995-1998 Ford Contour?

Yes. It is listed for the 1995-1998 Ford Contour and for other vehicles, including the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact vehicle.

What comes with the assembly?

Each assembly includes a pre-installed ball joint and bushings, which saves the time and labor of installing them separately.

What does a lower control arm do?

It connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. This lets the suspension move up and down while helping hold the wheel in position, and the ball joint provides a pivot point.

What are signs it may need replacing?

Signs of wear may include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play in the ball joint. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before replacing the arm.
