Replace a worn upper arm in one step with the Dorman control arm 521-471. This front left upper suspension control arm and ball joint assembly directly replaces the original on the 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2007-2012 Dodge Nitro. The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, so the arm goes in as a single unit.
Direct replacement: takes the place of the original assembly in the front left upper position on the listed applications.
Ready to install: the ball joint and bushings are already installed, which saves time and labor compared with fitting them separately.
Tested: put through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
Coated for protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down while holding its position, and the ball joint acts as the pivot for steering. Signs this part may need replacing include:
clunking or knocking over bumps
loose or wandering steering
excessive play in the ball joint
uneven tire wear
This Dorman suspension control arm is sold individually for the left side, and replacing both sides together is recommended. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.

It is listed for the 2008-2013 Jeep Liberty and the 2007-2012 Dodge Nitro in the front left upper position. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact vehicle details.
