Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 521-675 control arm requires removal of the old control arm and careful alignment of the new part. Since the ball joint is not included, ensure compatibility with your existing ball joint or purchase separately if needed.

Mounting hardware is not included, so retain or replace bolts and nuts as necessary. It is recommended to have a professional alignment performed after installation to maintain proper suspension geometry.
