Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:523-017
Help bring back a steady, predictable front end with the Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly / Lateral Link and Ball Joint Assembly 523-025. It directly replaces the original front upper assembly on the 1995-2000 Mazda Millenia, and it is cataloged for both the front left upper and front right upper positions. The part is listed under both names.
The upper control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. Its ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the suspension travels and the wheels steer. Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a torn ball joint boot or worn bushings. Other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Replacing the left and right assemblies together is recommended for balanced handling. Engine details and the full application list are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
