Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 520-605 suspension control arm requires basic suspension knowledge and tools. Since the ball joint is not included, ensure your existing ball joint is in good condition or replace it separately. Mounting hardware is not included, so retain original bolts or purchase new hardware as needed. Proper torque specifications should be followed to secure the control arm and maintain suspension alignment. It is recommended to have a professional alignment performed after installation.
