Durable Design and Precise Fitment Details

This suspension control arm features a casting and forged iron construction that provides the necessary strength to maintain proper suspension geometry. The included rubber bushing, with an inside diameter of 14.3 mm and outside diameter of 39.6 mm, helps absorb road vibrations and reduce noise. The control arm’s overall length of 262.5 mm ensures a precise fit for compatible vehicles.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 520-580 control arm requires basic suspension knowledge and tools.
