Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-520
Help restore a smooth, stable ride with the Dorman control arm 520-164, a front right lower suspension control arm with ball joint. It is a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura.
The control arm connects the wheel assembly to the vehicle and lets the wheel travel up and down while holding it in position. The ball joint is the pivot point for steering. This Dorman lower control arm arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed, which saves the time and labor of rebuilding the old arm.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is sold individually for the front right lower position. Replacing the matching left-side arm at the same time is recommended for balanced handling. Signs the arm may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
