Deal with a worn front left lower arm in one step with the Dorman control arm 520-163, a direct replacement for the original assembly on the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
The Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, which saves time and labor on the repair. As the front left lower arm, it connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's structure. It lets the wheel travel up and down while the ball joint pivots with the steering.
- Direct replacement: built to take the place of the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Pre-installed components: each assembly includes the ball joint and bushings already in place.
- Tested design: put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, aimed at a smooth ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Protective coatings: additional coatings are applied for rust and corrosion resistance.
Signs that this arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the ball joint. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. This assembly is for the front left lower position, and replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for even handling.
