Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Control Arm P/N:521-857
Help keep your rear wheels properly located and your suspension moving as designed with the Dorman control arm 521-643. It is a direct replacement for the 2002-2003 Jeep Liberty. This Dorman lower control arm is listed for the rear lower position on both the left and right sides. It connects the suspension to the chassis and helps hold the wheel in place as the suspension travels over bumps and during braking and acceleration.
Dorman engineers and tests this suspension control arm as a replacement for the original arm on specific vehicles. If you are shopping for a 2002-2003 Jeep Liberty control arm, check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
Signs a rear lower control arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, vague or wandering handling, uneven tire wear, and a visibly bent or cracked arm. Other worn suspension components can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the full rear suspension before replacing parts. Because the arm is listed for both rear lower sides, replacing the left and right arms together is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation.
