Help your car ride smoothly and track predictably with the Dorman control arm 524-218, a front right lower control arm with ball joint for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable. Dorman designed it as a direct replacement for the original equipment on these applications, so it takes the place of the worn factory arm on the right-hand side.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly arrives ready to install, with the key wear components already in place:
- Direct replacement: Directly replaces the original assembly on the listed applications.
- Ready to install: The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, saving time and labor.
- Tested for the road: Evaluated through an industry-leading testing process aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride with directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Corrosion protection: Additional coatings provide rust and corrosion resistance.
As a Dorman lower control arm, it links the steering knuckle to the chassis. The arm pivots on its bushings as the suspension moves, while the ball joint lets the knuckle turn for steering. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear can be signs that the arm or its ball joint may need replacing, so inspect the suspension to confirm the cause first. This arm is sold individually, and replacing the left and right sides together is recommended for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and full fitment details.
