Detailed Product Description
This Dorman suspension control arm (part number 521-910) is engineered to meet the specifications of Lexus Highlander and Toyota RX300 vehicles. The tubular steel construction provides strength while maintaining a manageable weight. The black coated finish helps protect against rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the component. The control arm includes a single rubber bushing designed to absorb road vibrations and reduce noise, with precise dimensions including a 14.3 mm inside diameter and 39.6 mm outside diameter. The ball joint mounting is welded and uses a threaded stud, though the ball joint itself is not included with this part. This control arm is not adjustable and does not come with mounting hardware or grease fittings, so installation requires reusing existing hardware or purchasing separately.
