Detailed Description

This Dorman suspension control arm assembly is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the front left upper suspension position. It is built to support directional stability, smooth ride quality, and predictable handling on vehicles such as the Ford Crown Victoria, Ford Grand Marquis, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car. Part number 521-567 is a practical choice when the original upper control arm shows wear at the bushings or ball joint.

The assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, and the pre-greased design helps simplify service preparation. The steel construction and standard replacement grade make this a straightforward option for restoring suspension function on 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1995-2002 Ford Grand Marquis, 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car applications listed below.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK80709 and Delphi TC6273 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or looseness from a worn upper control arm
• Uneven steering feel caused by ball joint wear
• Suspension play from deteriorated bushings
