  • Trustworthy replacement: Directly replaces the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.

A lower control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down while the ball joint acts as the pivot for steering. These are signs the arm may need replacing: clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a worn ball joint or bushings. This Dorman lower control arm is sold individually for the left side, and replacing both sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment is typically advised after installation.
