Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm is engineered for the front left lower position on select Toyota Paseo and Toyota Tercel models. Built from steel with a coated finish, it uses a welded ball joint mounting design and includes a rubber bushing to match the original suspension layout. The assembly is made for vehicles that need a replacement control arm with OE-style dimensions and mounting points, including applications that call for a front left lower arm on 1998-1999 Toyota Paseo and 1998-1999 Toyota Tercel. This part cross-references Delphi TC6398 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive front suspension looseness or play
• Clunking or knocking from the lower control arm area
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Steering pull related to worn bushings or arm wear
• Restoring front left lower suspension support on Toyota Paseo and Toyota Tercel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and front left lower position before installation. This control arm does not include mounting hardware, and the ball joint is not included or installed. Inspect adjacent suspension components, alignment settings, and mounting points during replacement to ensure proper service results. Confirm fitment for 1998 Toyota Paseo and Tercel from 12/97, as well as 1999 Toyota Paseo and Tercel applications.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this control arm as a replacement part for specific OE applications and subjects it to testing for fit and function on the listed vehicles. The steel construction, coated finish, and included bushing support consistent suspension service on the confirmed Toyota applications.
