Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with 1992-1994 Suzuki Swift front left lower suspension service, this Dorman 521-097 assembly is intended for vehicles needing a complete control arm and ball joint replacement at the lower front left corner. The stamped steel construction and regular-grade suspension design support consistent alignment behavior and stable steering response. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK622717 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive front-end looseness or wandering
• Clunking or knocking from worn suspension joints
• Uneven tire wear related to worn control arm components
• Steering pull or reduced directional stability
• Failed rubber bushings or ball joint wear at the lower control arm

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front left lower position before installation. This assembly uses a press-in ball joint with a pinch-style stud, so proper suspension service tools and alignment procedures are recommended after replacement. The control arm is not adjustable, so final alignment should be checked once installation is complete.
