Keep the front right wheel properly located as it rides and steers with this Dorman control arm, the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm with Ball Joint 521-376, built for the front right lower position.

The lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the frame, and its ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the suspension travels and the wheel is steered. Dorman designed this control arm and ball joint assembly as a direct replacement for the original equipment on specific applications. It also went through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.

Is this a Ram 1500 upper control arm?
No. Part 521-376 is a lower control arm for the front right position. On the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 it replaces the right lower arm, not an upper arm.
Which other trucks does this front right lower arm fit?
It is listed for the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 and the 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, among many others. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact truck.
Is the ball joint included?
Yes. The assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, so you do not have to press them in separately.
What are signs the lower control arm or ball joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a loose ball joint or worn bushings found during inspection. Diagnose the cause before you replace parts.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
A wheel alignment check is recommended after you replace a control arm. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values.
