Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered as a direct OE-style replacement for the front right lower position on 1992, 1993, and 1994 Suzuki Swift models. The steel casting/forged control arm includes the ball joint already installed, along with rubber bushings and mounting hardware, helping simplify replacement of a worn lower control arm assembly. The Dorman 521-098 part number is a common reference for this application, and this assembly cross-references Mevotech Original Grade GK5301 and Mevotech Supreme CMS5301 for the same vehicle fitment.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from a worn lower control arm or ball joint
• Loose or inconsistent steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Front-end instability during braking or cornering
• Excess movement from deteriorated bushings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation: 1992-1994 Suzuki Swift, front right lower. This assembly uses a pinch-style ball joint stud and a press-in ball joint mounting type, so proper suspension service procedures and alignment checks are recommended after replacement. Inspect adjacent steering and suspension components for wear before reassembly.
