The ball joint is included but not installed, and the press-in design supports OE-style service procedures. Dorman 522-007 is a practical replacement when the original arm shows wear at the bushings or ball joint, or when suspension movement has become inconsistent. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS301102 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Addresses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or knocking from the rear suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive play from worn bushings or ball joint wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven rear suspension response during braking or cornering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional instability or wandering from a worn control arm assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible corrosion or damage to the original rear lower control arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall in the rear left lower forward position only on the listed vehicles.
