Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:520-350
$150.99

Help keep your front end steady and predictable with the Dorman control arm 520-350, a front right lower control arm with ball joint built to directly replace the original assembly on the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.

The ball joint and bushings arrive already installed, so this Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly lets you replace the whole unit instead of pressing in individual components, which saves time and labor.

  • Direct replacement: Directly replaces the original front right lower assembly on the listed applications.
  • Complete repair: Ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, so the arm is ready to install.
  • Tested for ride quality: Put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is designed to support a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
  • Corrosion protection: Additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.

Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, cracked bushings, or a loose ball joint. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension components can produce similar symptoms. Replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for balanced handling, and a wheel alignment check is advised after installation.

Should I get an alignment after installing it?
