Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the front right lower suspension position. It is built with a steel stamped arm, rubber bushings, and a bolt-in ball joint to match the original layout on select Honda City and Honda Fit models. The assembly is pre-greased and supplied with the ball joint already installed, helping simplify replacement of a worn lower control arm assembly. Part number 521-202 is a practical choice when servicing front-end suspension wear on 2014-2020 Honda City and 2015-2020 Honda Fit vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm assembly
• Excessive play in the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension wear
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Noisy or degraded ride quality from worn bushings or ball joint components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install in the front right lower position only. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and suspension layout before ordering. Because the ball joint is threaded and bolt-in, confirm the mounting points and fastener sizes match the original assembly. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to restore proper suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this replacement assembly to support consistent fit and suspension performance on the listed Honda applications. Part number 521-202 is built to replace the original equipment design on the confirmed vehicle fitments.
