This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is sold for the left side. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.

Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
