Help keep your front suspension steady and predictable with this Dorman control arm, part number 521-951. It is a front left lower Control Arm with Ball Joint, built as a direct replacement for the original equipment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly connects the wheel's steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It locates the wheel while letting it move with the road and the steering. The ball joint and bushings come already installed, so the whole unit goes in as one piece.

  • Direct replacement: Designed to take the place of the original assembly on the listed applications.
  • Complete repair: The ball joint and bushings arrive pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
  • Tested engineering: Put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which aims for a smooth, stable and predictable ride.
  • Corrosion protection: Additional coatings help the assembly resist rust and corrosion.

Clunking over bumps, wandering steering or uneven tire wear can have several causes. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is the cause, this Dorman lower control arm replaces all three in a single installation.
