Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:521-012
Swap out a worn front right lower arm with this Dorman control arm, part number 521-090, which comes with the ball joint and bushings already installed. It is built as a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2006-2015 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so there is no need to fit those components separately.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. It pivots on its bushings and ball joint so the wheel can move with the suspension while holding its position. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, vibration and uneven tire wear are signs the arm, its ball joint or its bushings may need replacing. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before you replace parts.
This part fits the right side. Replacing both sides together is recommended when both show wear. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
