Replace a worn front lower forward arm in one step with the Dorman control arm P/N 522-097, which arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2012 Land Rover Range Rover. Engine-specific details are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications. Dorman puts it through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Pre-installed components: the ball joint and bushings come already installed, which saves time and labor.
- Tested design: the arm went through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Protective coatings: additional coatings help it resist rust and corrosion.
- Position: it is cataloged for the front lower forward location.
As a Dorman lower control arm, it connects the chassis to the steering knuckle through its ball joint. This lets the wheel travel up and down while helping to keep it located. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear may be signs that the arm, its bushings or its ball joint needs replacing. Other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing anything. A wheel alignment after installation is recommended.
