Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman 521-626 control arm and ball joint assembly is engineered for front right lower suspension service on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, Sprinter 2500, Sprinter 3500, Sprinter 3500XD, and Sprinter van platforms, along with select Dodge Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter Van applications.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Front-end looseness or wandering on the road
• Clunking or knocking from the front right lower suspension
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn control arm or ball joint components
• Reduced directional stability during braking or lane changes
• Excess play from a worn OE lower control arm assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this assembly in the front right lower position only on the listed vehicle applications. Verify the ball joint mounting style, mounting hole diameter, and control arm dimensions before installation. Because the ball joint is already installed, replacement focuses on swapping the complete assembly rather than servicing the joint separately.
