This Dorman 520-292 control arm is built for the rear suspension on Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 vehicles where the original arm has worn bushings, loosened mounting points, or developed handling noise. It uses a steel stamped construction with a rubber bushing to restore suspension location and support in the rear right lower rearward position. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS101016 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking over bumps
• Excessive play from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear tire wear caused by suspension movement
• Loose or unstable rear-end handling on Volvo S40 or Volvo V40 models
• Corrosion or fatigue in the original rear control arm

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is equipped without sport suspension before ordering. Because mounting hardware is not included, inspect the existing fasteners and related suspension components before installation. After replacement, a rear suspension alignment check is recommended to confirm proper geometry.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this suspension control arm as an OE-style replacement and subjects it to application-specific testing for fit and function on the listed Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 vehicles.
